Scamp

Scamp believes there are two cats in her house—one pink (Scamp herself) and one black (Hector)—until her growing body begins behaving in not-so-catlike ways. She suddenly finds herself standing on two feet…eating with a spoon…even enjoying the bath. What is happening to her? But when Hector needs help, Scamp must choose between acting like a cat and taking a big-girl stand to rescue her friend.

This sweet and poignant picture book, with inviting watercolor art by a debut talent, perfectly captures the moment when a little girl realizes she is becoming a big girl, and the universal bittersweet beauty of change.
