This story is about the Pyes (Rachael, her brother Jerry, Mama, Papa, Gracie, Uncle Benny, and Ginger) who go on vacation so Papa ,a famous ornithologist, can figure out what a puffin is doing there. His bad memory gets him in a lot of trouble very early on in the book. Little did he know he wouldn't get much work done due to an abandoned kitten left on their cabin's door step. Pinkey Pye they called her, who would do anything just so someone will say she's cute. Mama brought plenty of coats (even though it was 90 degrees outside) just in case they were walking along the beach and a snow storm arived and matches in case they got lost. Her motto is "Be Prepared." Uncle Benny is Mama's brother even though he is 5 years younger than Rachael and Jerry(Mama's children). He wonders how his crickets are vanishing one by one. He is on a never ending quest to stop sucking his thumb. Gracie is a grumpy old cat who feins boredom through out although she is very interested in a creature lurking in the shadows of the attic... Ginger is the clever dog, but feels a little left out when Pinky steps into the picture. Will her jelousy overcome her common sense? Filled with laughs. Some of the suspence in this book will keep you laughing and crying over their detailed antics. I recommend reading Ginger Pye before this one though. All in All a good book.

Pinky Pye is a charming book about a little black cat. Pinky Pye is about the Pye family and they go to Fire Island. Mr. Pye goes to look for birds and brings the family. At there cottage they find a cat in a crabnet, there was a sign on her that said "ABANDID". It said her name was Pinky too. The Pyes decided to keep her. One day she started type writing. They started calling her the type writing cat. They found an owl in the eaves and gave it to Mr. Bish, his owner. You should read this book to find out the ending. I think this is a book for all ages.

Pinky Pye is yet another well written book by Elenor Estes. As appealing as both the Moffats series and the infamous Ginger Pye. This title is an excellent choice for both the traditional and creative book report formats for readers of 4th through 6th grades. If you love animals, and a solid story line of sibling relationship, this book is for you! Besides, where else could you read about a typewriting cat!

My family really enjoys all of Eleanor Estes' books. They make great read-alouds at home or selections to listen to on CD for car trips. We started with Ginger Pye, went on to Pinky Pye, then went back and read several of the Moffat novels. I think what we enjoy most is, of course, the humor--they are all funny. But it's also the cast of everyday folks living their everyday lives in smalltown America, with experiences we can all relate to. Similar to the attraction of Cleary's Henry Huggins and Ramona books. If you like those, you'll love Estes!

I read this book for a book report in 5th grade. I enjoyed as much as I enjoyed Ginger Pye. It was very entertaining. I think this book is mainly for grades 3-7 because its big and has some big words too. Loved this book overall

The Pye family goes to Fire Island with Papa, the ornithologist father of the family. There they find a cat, and unravel the mystery of where Uncle Bennie's (the four-year old uncle of the 2 children) crickets are, and where Papa's ornithologist friend's pet owl is

Pinky Pye is a cute, funny ,exciting,and questioning kind of book.My favorite part is when the Pyes find Pinky.Then find out that Pinky can type on Mr.Pyes type writer.I really liked
this book.Kathryn Arnold...>
