Lulu loves cats and wants one of her own, but her mother says it will be a lot of work. Lulu decides to find out more and reads a book to learn about keeping a cat and then practices by pretending her soft toy cat, Dinah is a real one. Mummy finally agrees and the simple narrative shows Lulu and her parents preparing for and bringing home their new pet. Thinking carefully about what a cat might need and how to make it feel comfortable are emphasised, and this story has been recommended by the Empathy Lab. Rosallnd Beardshaw's delightful, brightly coloured, full page illustrations are a perfect accompaniment
