The Siamese Kittens and the Christmas Hedgehog

“Chai loved exploring the country house, especially the cellar. There he saw a small, round animal with a long face, very short legs and it was covered with prickly spines.” It is Christmas Eve. While the three kittens watch the Quinnlings play in the snow, Chai, investigates the cellar. There he meets an unexpected and spiky friend. Chai’s actions teach the kittens the importance of caring for those in need of help. Ages 5 - 8 | These delightful stories with subtle Christian metaphors are perfect for children learning to read on their own who want to discover the character of God. Michael Haykin's three books follow kittens Siam, Ko-Ko and Java as they join the Quinn household in Ireland.

‘These books are just so wholesome and sweet! With adorably cheeky kittens, precious stories, beautiful illustrations, and messages of friendship, trust and caring for others, they’re perfect for early readers and will bless the whole family. While these books have subtle Christian themes, there is a scripture at the end of each story which ties in perfectly and adds a beautifully balanced faith element. While the suggested ages are 5-8, my 9 year old consumed all three books in an afternoon, and gushed about them to her little sisters, whom she ended up re-reading them to again.’ Renee Emerson, blossomingthroughbooks
