Customer Reviews

Loved it

This story is so wonderful. Everything about it was wonderful. I wish all books could be this good. It was funny, touching, heartwarming, and very enjoyable. You will feel sorry for the cat but luckily it gets its happy ending - which it really deserves. Buy this book; you won't regret it.

A Touching Holiday Story

Carvel, an abused young kitten, is tossed out into the freezing cold, with an empty Carvel milkshake container as her only shelter. But when sixteen-year-old Jack, and his six-year-old little sister, Gracie, happen upon the hurt kitten, it's the best thing that could ever happen. For Carvel will finally have the joy of having someone love her, and Gracie finally has proof that Santa Claus does exist.From the very first page of CARVEL THE CHRISTMAS CAT, John S. Littell grabs your interest, and holds it. CARVEL... is filled with many intriguing, and caring characters, who pull on your heartstrings throughout the entire novel, and keep you wanting more. Jack, while trying to pretend to be a selfish macho teenager, is nothing more than a sweet teddy bear, with a heart of gold; Gracie is one of the kindest children in literature, who, even at such a young age cares for Carvel more than you would believe; and Carvel is a strong, brave, sweet, curious, gorgeous little kitten, who deserves a family who will treat her kindly, and a nice, warm home to live in. This is a must-have holiday book for animal lovers of all ages, as it will appeal to everyone, young or old.Erika Sorocco
