Editorial Reviews

“Sweetheart and Walter the Bully tells the beginning saga of a love affair between a small kitten and her soon-to-be adoptive parents and how her bravery saves the day. With wonderful colorful illustrations, author and illustrator John Hume creates an illuminating setting for this true-to-life tale. The expressions on the faces of his characters pull readers into the story and have them eager to turn the page. I am looking forward to the next episode of Sweetheart’s adventures to find out what other mischief this kitten will share with her new family.”
