A clever and light-hearted story that invites kids and adults to explore the idea of desperately wanting something attractive and special, only to realize that what they really wanted was something deeper, with true value. "All that glitters is not gold." Mya wanted a dream kitty that was orange with white stripes. A kitty that was flashy and fun. Her kitty, Jeffrey, was old and gray, and did everything wrong. He ruined her homework and ran from the room when she played her fiddle. Jeffrey was not her dream kitty. Jeffrey liked warm spots, good food, and being with his friend Mya. He can't understand why Mya is upset with him. The author cleverly illustrates the frustration Mya feels until genuine friendship plays a hand and Jeffrey is the hero. M.J. Mowell shows how one kitty helps us understand that what we really want comes from the heart. ENGAGING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING: Children will love the humorous illustrations and simple plot. Parents and adults will appreciate the thoughtful discussion questions at the end of the book.
