Tom Finger — Gillian McClure

This beautifully illustrated, wintry book has the same magical quality as a classic, long-treasured fairy tale. It begins with a little girl named Queenie sadly calling her Tabby cat, who had recently died. But, instead of her old Tabby returning, a different cat, the young and blue-eyed Tom Finger, appears at her door--then just as suddenly disappears. Over and over he returns, each time bringing a small gift, then disappears again. Queenie is entranced by him and finally follows him home, where she meets an unexpected friend and is given the best gift of all...a kitten with bright blue eyes, just like Tom Finger!

Gillian McClure enchants us with this quietly mysterious tale and her delicate, classic illustration style. A perfect gift for picture book lovers of all ages.
