tammyw Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I don't know much about this collection of books. Are they typically out of print books that they love and reprint in their own format? We have had Jenny Linsky and the Cat Club for a while and just started really reading last night. We love it! Now I'm wondering if there are other books we need to get from this particular collection. http://www.amazon.com/Jenny-Cat-Club-Collection-Childrens/dp/1590170474/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373488956&sr=8-1&keywords=jenny+linsky (and now I see there are other Jenny Linsky books, but it looks like they only have one story each while the one I bought has 5 stories, making it a decent value). Favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haanz Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I read Wolf Story aloud to my kids earlier this year and we all loved it! That's the only one from those I'm familiar with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Too young for your kids and not part of the Jenny Linsky series, but my kids have all loved The Fire Cat by the same author as an early reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme824 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I read Wolf Story aloud to my kids earlier this year and we all loved it! That's the only one from those I'm familiar with. I'll second this - we loved Wolf Story! We also love Wee Gillis, 13 Clocks, D'Aulaires Book of Animals, and D'Aulaires Book of Trolls. I've got several others on our to-read list.

NASDAQ Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Any of the D'Aulaires. Especially the Norse Myths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If you mean from the cat club series, ds read them all and loved them all. He especially liked Jenny at Sea. If you mean the rest of the NY Review collection, they're all great. I especially recommend The Thirteen Clocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingCat Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Some of the Jenny Linsky books are one story and some are longer. I've have been slowly reading them to my younger DD because she LOVES "The Fire Cat" and wanted more stories about Pickles. DD has checked them out of the library many times even though we have only read a few stories in some of the books LOL! 1 short story - School for Cats Jenny's Moonlight Adventure Jenny's Birthday book Longer- Jenny and the Cat Club The Hotel Cat Jenny Goes to Sea Captains of the City Streets Of the rest NY Review collection I have only read Carbonel: The King of Cats which I liked and The Rescuers which was "eh" ( although many love it) - neither of these has been read/listened to by either child yet.

DD has checked them out of the library many times even though we have only read a few stories in some of the books LOL! Kind of a funny aside. One night my husband joked he wished we'd called our cat Mrs. Pickles (we're always coming up with alternate names for her). The next morning, we started reading about Pickles, Jenny Linskey's friend. It was such a funny coincidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks for the mention OP, I've heard of Fire CAt but I wasn't aware there was a whole collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yay, other people who love Jenny Linsky! We have all of those. I also love Eleanor Farjeon's The Little Bookroom. The Thirteen Clocks is a great book. Charlotte Sometimes The House of Arden The Bear That Wasn't Lizard Music Mistress Masham's Repose These are all books we have read and enjoyed, though not in those particular editions. It looks like they're just re-publishing books that have been out of print for a long time, that are really good. Honestly most of them look like good bets.

Mrs_JWM Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We love all the Jenny books! I always planned to get a shy black kitten for my next cat and name her Jenny. When the time came, our vet said we should get a male cat to go with our two female cats. Although I was a little disappointed, I found a sweet, black male cat at the shelter and fell in love! I named him BENNY Linsky. He's Jenny's cousin who was born on the streets. He made a few bad choices and spent some time in jail. He even has a prison tattoo as a memento of his time in the slammer. He's pretty awesome...and the most loving, affectionate cat I have ever had. I love the NY Review books so much that I made his adoption announcement look like the cover of the reissue of Jenny and the Cat Club. All of the Palmer Brown books are very good, too.
