Book Cover & Preview Text
One day, Ms. Tibby came home and didn’t make her way immediately to the couch to greet Bella. Instead, she went straight into the kitchen. Bella made her way to the kitchen and slowly peered around the corner. She watched as Ms. Tibby put down a second water bowl and then gently placed a tiny gray kitten in front of it. Ms. Tibby noticed Bella and said “Bella, look what was at our front doorstep! We will keep her and she can be your little sister” Bella slinked her way over to the kitten and turned up her nose. “Hummpphfff” thought Bella as she noticed all the mud that had collected in the kittens’ paws. “My life was just purrfect the way it was!” Bella hissed at the kitten. “Who needs a little sister?”
