A Brilliant Book!
I simply love this book! It is one of the best books that I have ever read.I was very glad when at the end the cub was reunited with his mother. Also, I liked the name Lili.It is a really good book!

This is a compassionate and highly readable book - 5 stars
This is a story of a feral cat that with encouragement and perseverence from compassionate people like Mandy and James is able to return to a settled, happy life. A double reward for Mandy and James as Blossom, the little cat produces three beautiful kittens. At the same point, Delilah, the cat belonging to Mr and Mrs Ward also produces kittens of her own: four lovely Persians. Following an accident with a car, Delilah is submitted to Animal Ark surgery. During this period, Blossom becomes foster mother to her kittens as she is resident in the Wards' garden shed. The story develops with the unravelling of the little kittens characters and we see Mandy and James' delight as the kittens start to grow up. The story becomes intense at this point as Mandy and James come to terms with the fact that the kittens will soon have to be rehomed and knowing where to home them. With this is the additional worry of Delilah at Animal Ark. The story concludes in agripping way as the owner of Blossom, Janice Stanley turns up and their is concern as to whether or not she will allow the kittens to go to the homes that Mandy and James have kindly found for them. An excellent and very relieving finish for us all! Number 42 was well worth the wait!

This book was fabulous
We thoroughly enjoyed this book it made you feel like you were really in china with them.The thing that we most enjoyed was when the pandas were reunited with each other.
We have both read and admired a great deal of Animal Arks,and we both think Lucy Daniels is a totally fab author and recommend her books to anybody.
We both are hopeful that her books shall soon come out on TV or even at the cinema.
