Summary: This is a beloved and very special children's book.
Review: I was thrilled when I saw that this collection of Jenny Linsky stories was being published again. I delighted in reading these stories to my children when they were little. The stories are a wonderful break from the cynical world in which we live. They always teach a lesson, but in such a way that they are never preachy. The illustrations are absolutely lovely and adorable. I am saving my edition to read to my grandchildren. Then I can create a second generation of memories that include these sweet stories.

Summary: Fabulous read
Review: My children (girl-4, boy 6)love Jenny Linsky. Her everyday adventures are so real and make it easy to relate to her. The illustrations are so simple and the characters so diverse. This is my daughter's favorite book (after Jenny's Surprise Birthday Party, which we have checked out of my son's school library 4 times this year). My son (a dino, shark, nature kid) hated for me to put it down between chapters; it is so fascinating and the language and setting are so unlike many books written today. I am so glad we uncovered this wonderful, old treasure. I would encourage all parents to read a Jenny Linsky story to their children.

Summary: We love the Cat Club!
Review: Over a period of days, I read my 7 and 4 year old the stories in this lovely book. We all just loved them - the stories are such a refreshing change from more modern stories. They are old-fashioned, but still relevant and engaging to children. Jenny Linksy is charming, but has her faults. She admirably faces challenges and is willing to admit when she's wrong. My kids kept asking questions about the stories and making comments about Jenny and her friends for days after each reading. They totally looked forward to the next story. Echoing a prior reviewer's comment - Please publish the rest of the stories!

Summary: Jenny Linsky taught me to read.
Review: There's a time most of us probably don't remember when we make the conceptual leap from looking at a bunch of letters on a page to reading. Jenny did this for me.My grandmother sent me the first Jenny Linsky books before I was old enough to start school. My parents read them to me--at first. For the rest of his life my Dad said that he, too, adored Jenny Linsky because all he had to do was put me in his lap, open the book, and turn the pages. I did all the rest. Years ago, before internet use was common, I asked a woman who owned a children's bookstore if she carried the Jenny Linksy books. She condecendingly told me that she never heard of them. No wonder that store went out of business. Later, when I went online and tried to find the books, all I could find were rare collectors copies. I'm thrilled to see these reprinted. I owe Jenny for a lifetime of happy reading.
