I read this book when I was in third grade and I really loved the animal story line. I was lucky enough to buy my copy one day at school, maybe during a book fair or the author came to our school, because I remember I got the book signed. Either way, I remember that Kit was a really likable girl, especially once she had been at the animal shelter for awhile. Other than that, I don't remember since it's been about twenty years since I read it. ( )
