This is a wonderful children's chapter book, which I loved reading. Princess Katie is so busy at home, with all her duties and activities, but one day she goes to the forest and finds a box full of kittens. She wants to rescue them, so she asks a grownup to help her, and they eventually rescue them, but one of them is missing. Katie and her friends and helpers have to find him, and then once they get them all safe in the palace, they learn how to look after them.

I loved the characters of this book, and the story of the kittens was so cute. Children will love this story, and it will teach them how to take care of animals. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Originally published in 2012, this new edition of Princess Katie's Kittens: Pixie at the Palace is as cute as cute can be. Told in a dual narrative which tells the story from both Katie and Pixie's perspective, it is perfect for cat-lovers and readers who have enjoyed Unipiggle and other princess stories.

When Katie finds a box of abandoned kittens in the woods, she is determined to help them by raising them at the palace. But when Pixie goes missing, can she find the weak kitty in time to save him? And will her mum and dad allow her to keep them?

This is a gentle but engaging story which uses the dual narrative to create tension and high stakes. Katie's kind nature and love for the kittens is balanced with Pixie's curiosity and determination to help his sisters, unaware of the danger he is in. Katie, perhaps, is a slightly stereotypical princess but knows her own mind and is set on doing the right thing, allowing readers to explore themes of caring for animals, friendship and finding compromises. With each story in the series focussing on a different kitten, there is definitely lots of fun to come.

An adorable short story for kids about a kind princess and a family of stray kittens.
My kids absolutely loved it! It was well written and easy to read. Characters in a book were all kind and caring. Probably the closest to a not so likeable character would be the royal cat who doesn’t like to get stroked.
As we were reading through the book, once in a while cute illustrations would show up, and it just helped the imagination. Kids definitely liked seeing little kittens illustrations.
I would recommend this book to any girl from 7- 11 years old, especially if you can’t resist cute little kittens.

A charming book for the younger reader who is just gaining confidence. This is about caring for pets, coping with challenges and family

Just so sweet! The perfect book for young ladies that love all things girly plus animals! I was looking for a sweet series for my niece and she absolutely loved it! What girl doesn’t want to be a princess at some point in our lives?
