Lola Gets a Cat - Hardcover

by Anna McQuinn (Author), Rosalind Beardshaw (Illustrator)

In this Lola Reads picture book, Lola learns about caring for a pet in this simple and sweet story about welcoming a new kitty.

Lola wants a cat, but Mommy says taking care of a pet is a lot of work. So Lola does her homework. At the library she finds books about cats and pet care and she and Mommy learn as much as they can. She pretends her stuffed kitty is real and practices taking care of it.

When the time comes, Lola is allowed to pick out her new friend at an animal shelter. With patience and care, her kitten settles in at home.

The Lola Reads series celebrates family time and togetherness through reading, special activities, and new adventures.
