It's been at least 25 year since I've read any but I still remember the members of the Cat Club: Jenny Linsky the shy black kitty who always wore a scarf, her adopted brothers Checkers and Edward, Concertina the club secretary, who scratched notes into the bark of a tree...

Why oh why are these books out of print? My favorite was Jenny Goes to Sea, where she visits exotic locales like Zanzibar and Siam.

I loved this book and a child and wanted to get it for my children, to my dismay i found it to be out of print. I found it in the public library, though, and my kids also fell in love with it and wanted to keep it and read it over and over. They were sure sad the day it had to return to the library. This is a wonderful book about a shy little cat and her adventures with the cat club. A must for any child who loves cats and grownups as well.

I too remember this book and others in the series from my childhood. I want it for my daughter! Someone should tell the publishers to bring this back in print!

This book from my childhood is one that lingers in my memory. I recently came across my old dog-eared copy, and hoped to find another one used. Instead, I find that it is (rightly) hard to obtain because it is (wrongly) out-of-print. At least I now know I am not alone in my affection for this volume and series. _The Cat Club_ explores that place between our sense of self-worth and our social status, in ways that still delight me (even at forty-something)

A wonderful story. My six year old loves the Cat Club, but we're having a hard time tracking them down, with 12 of the 13 titles out of print. If any publishers are listening, please bring back Jenny Linsky! All kids seem to love "The Cat Club" and it should always be available.

I also read these books when I was a child, and they were wonderful!!! I used to go to the library and get them over and over and over. I remember my mother would try to get me to get other books and I would read these again and again. I was also looking for them for my daughter - I also wish they would bring these books back into print. I have not been able to find at our library.

O does this bring back memories. One of my absolute faves! I would love to have another copy!

I can still see the book, yellow with black Jenny on the cover. I read it over and over as a child, and want a copy for my daughter, now! Jenny deals with new friends and old and the simple adventures of the club -- warm, sweet and thoughtful.

My mother gave me copy of this book published in the 1940's. She had read it years ago. I was entranced. For anyone who likes children's books or cats, find a copy! It's worth it.

I used to get this book for my little sister from my school library... as much for her as me. It's the sweetest story about cats, and has lovely personality.
