Items related to Pumpkin Cat
On a stormy night in October, a ginger cat finds refuge in the "Returned Books" bin of the local library. Rescued by two kind librarians, Pumpkin Cat makes a home for herself in the large children's room. But the wooden sheep and the sock monkey never talk, and once the librarians leave for the day, Pumpkin Cat is lonely. Searching for what is missing, she makes a new friend in a neighborhood girl and receives a Halloween gift that fills her heart. Ann Turner's tender story, paired with Amy June Bates's cozy illustrations, explores the idea that sometimes for a home to be found, a home must be given. Ann Turner is the author of several books for children, including Red Flower Goes West, illustrated by Dennis Nolan. She lives with her family in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.

From Booklist:
PreS-Gr. 1. During a storm an orange cat makes her way to the library, where she is taken in and given the name, Pumpkin Cat. The kitten adjusts, but feels something is missing. Soon after her arrival, she is surprised to see children dressed up in costumes and playing odd games such as bobbing for apples. The shy cat still feels a bit lost. Then the librarians note a basket on the library stairs; inside is a kitten wrapped in a pink blanket. Now Pumpkin Cat knows what has been missing--a friend. Particularly sweet are small paintings dotting the spreads that show the cats getting to know one another: sniffing each other's breath, Pumpkin Cat licking the newcomer and showing her the water dish and litter pan. Although not precisely a Halloween story, this volume, bursting with fall colors and featuring a child in a witch costume on the jacket, can certainly be used for seasonal storytimes. Ilene Cooper
