New York review Children‘s Collection reprinted this fun little book where shy black cat Jenny Linsky from Greenwich Village gets frightened by a large cat Pickles , who drives a cat size fire truck while she‘s at the School for Cats. I gave this to my mom years ago. Thought this day where I‘m trying to figure out if I have Covid or not would be time for a sweet reread! Nacho is your model this evening.

elkeOriginal As a kid I named our first family cat Pickles because I loved The Fire Cat so much. Feel better and 🤞🏻 for a nonC diagnosis. 11mo
