Pussy Black-Face; Or, The Story of a Kitten and Her Friends

"Pussy Black-Face; Or, The Story of a Kitten and Her Friends" by Marshall Saunders is a delightful children's story from the early 1900s that follows a spirited kitten and her life. The story follows Pussy Black-Face, a kitten who struggles to be as well-behaved as her mother. We're introduced to her family, consisting of her loving mother, fancy father, and siblings, all living in a happy home under the care of Mrs. Darley. We learn about her home life and various meetings with people and other cats as she attempts to figure out who she is and where she fits in. The beginning chapters focus on introducing the themes of family, personal identity, and compassion, setting the stage for a playful exploration of kitten mischief and interesting meetings.
