KINDERGARTEN CAT is a story about a little cat that is found outside by the jungle gym near an elementary school. She is brought inside and put on a little pillow in a kindergarten class room. The next day when the children came to school they saw her cuddled in a ball on the pillow. The children named her Tinker Toy. Each child wants Tinker Toy to sit next to then on their little square on the carpet. Tinker Toy has different plans. She curls up next to a little girl who is sitting by the teacher. All the students have theories that the cat can't read,count, and learn the alphabet. The teacher says she thinks any one can learn even Tinker Toy. Tinker Toy meows and it sounds like she is talking to every one. Every one in the class finds out that Tinker Toy is very smart, and the teacher tells the class that Tinker Toy will be their kindergarten cat.
This is a book for children just starting out in school. The illustrations by Ailie Busby are very colorful and help tell the story.
