The fourth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters, with beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon. Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself... When Jasmine and Tom rescue an abandoned kitten, Jasmine is desperate to keep her. But her parents decide to sell Holly - and Jasmine is NOT happy with her new owner! Can Jasmine and Tom give Holly the best ever Christmas present - a good home? Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up. Check out Jasmine's other adventures: A Piglet Called Truffle, A Duckling Called Button, A Sheepdog Called Sky and many more!

Interests me because it goes through a lot of emotions e.g. Sadness, Mad and happiness. Very lovely backgrounds and uses rich vocabulary. Enjoy reading! Signed, Senorita Bernice Quarantine

It had loads of animals in it and I love animals. I thought Jasmine was brave. I thought Manu was really annoying. I would recommend this book to someone else.

Amazing! Full of wintery fun, A Kitten Called Holly is about how a mother cat rejectes Holly and it's up to Tom and Jasmine to find her. Jasmine is despret to keep her but her mum won't let her. Bella Bradley is mean and longs to rehome Holly though Jasmine and Tom know she will just be lonely. Will the poor kitten ever find a home...... I would recommend it to children about the age of 7+.
