Book Review

     Today I am starting a series of book reviews on some animal books that I have read recently.  This week, I am reviewing the book "Paw Prints In the Moonlight" written by Denis O'Connor. 
     Denis O'Connor was a teacher living in Northumberland, England when one evening he saw an injured cat.  He tracked the injured cat through the snow and found that she was staying in an old barn with her recently born kittens.  The author rushed the cat and kittens to the vet, but the author was only able to rescue one of the kittens.
    The book tells about how Mr. O'Connor cared for the kitten who he named Toby Jug.  The book covers the first year that these two spent together living in their home at Owl Cottage.  One of the best parts of the book details the outdoor adventure the two went on in the Cheviot Hills.
    I highly recommend "Paw Prints In the Moonlight".  This is one of the best cat books that I've read in a long time.  These two really had a great relationship.
