Dizzy Lizzie by Kat E Erickson tells the story of an adorable young kitten who is learning how to survive in the world filled with change. When the story opens, Lizzie has trouble finding a spot to drink milk because she has so many brothers and sisters who are able beat her to a spot to eat. She discovers that if she waits until one of the others finishes eating, she will feel full and loved. Later Lizzie and her siblings are discovered by workmen and are rescued from the wild, but are taken away from their mother. This is heartbreaking for all the kittens who cry out for their mama, but they soon discover that they are now with a new person who feeds and cares for them. Later, Lizzie watches as all of her siblings get adopted into families. Lizzie is determined to also get adopted and figures out how her kittenish ways can help her be adopted along with one of her siblings. Lizzie finds herself in a new home and over time realizes that the person who adopted her treats her kindly and she soon thinks of her as mama.

This is a sweet story that children will enjoy reading. The illustrations are beautiful and all cat lovers will love the drawings of the adorable kittens. There are some concepts about change and perseverance that can be discussed while reading the story.
