Jenny and the Cat Club: A Collection of Favorite Stories about Jenny Linsky, by Esther Averill

2.0

These stories were first written in the 1940s and 1950s, when much of children’s lit was written as some form of morality play. This can still be interesting from an anthropological aspect, to understand what virtues were seen as desirable at the time. But the style, pace, and simplicity do not translate well to modern day. Even in 1973, when this particular collection was created, these stories would not have been entertaining or engaging to children. I thought my granddaughter who loves cats might enjoy these stories, but now I don’t think so.
