Baby-Sitters Little Sister #4

The cover of this fourth entry in Ann M. Martin's Baby-Sitters Little Sister series says it all — Karen and two friends are gathered on a pink bed, surrounded by a grumpy gray cat, a fluffy white cat, and a tiny black kitten, the unofficial founding members of the Kittycat Club. The tagline "Karen has a club now, too!" captures the infectious enthusiasm of a kid who sees her older sibling's world and decides to build one of her own. It's a charming, cozy snapshot of childhood friendship and feline chaos that's hard not to smile at.
