"This is probably my all-time favorite Christmas story, ever.
That being said...Many of you know author James Herriot as Britain's most famous veterinarian (ie: "All Creatures Great and Small").
In the "Christmas Day Kitten", Herriot draws from a true life story about a homeless mother cat who comes to an English farm one stormy Christmas Eve to give birth to her kitten. The story is simple and powerful, but the illustrations bring it to vivid life. I think you would have to have a heart of stone to not be moved by this very special book."
"Be careful reading this to kids unless you've read it first. It's a good story but you've got to know your audience and their relationship to and experience with cats."
