Author, illustrator Esther Averill’s stories about Jenny the cat are sure to captivate young readers. Jenny discovers she has many hidden talents once she joins the neighborhood cat club. First, however, she must overcome her own shyness and does so in such a realistic manner that children will surely identify with her. Jenny and the other cats demonstrate friendship, generosity and good-will. Their dialogue is simple and frank, as is the writing of each of these five short stories. Averill’s illustrations complement her tales with just the right amount of detail and color. Younger children starting school may find that Jenny has much to teach them about beginning a new chapter in their life.A former teacher, Jennifer Minicus is currently a full-time wife and mother.- See more at: https://www.mercatornet.com/bookreviews/view/theres-a-new-cat-in-town/19239#sthash.a84D0sPA.dpuf

If you're interested, I'll tell you why it happened. We tweaked our social media buttons and added one which makes it easy to forward article links via email, not just by Twitter and Facebook. Apparently there was some sort of conflict in the coding -- which has been resolved.
I'll take advantage of this glitch to thank you for being part of MercatorNet. Comments are an important aspect of the website. I often disagree vehemently with some of them, but we're normally happy to let a thousand flowers bloom, to give voice to a diverse range of opinions. We don't want to live in a bubble.
And social media are extremely important. We need you, our readers, to tell your friends about MercatorNet and send them links. That's the way we'll grow.
There's plenty to read in today's issue. Check out the links below.
