History of my pets

A gentle portrait of childhood unfolds through the eyes of a young girl and the array of animals she welcomes into her home. The narrative begins with the unexpected gift of a white kitten named Keturah, whose arrival brightens a day shadowed by school frustrations and a gruff neighbor. From makeshift cat‑cotes to playful costumes, the early chapters capture the simple wonders of learning to care for a creature that seems to share the writer’s imagination and sense of adventure.

As the girl grows, her affection expands to a lively menagerie—dogs, parrots, chickens, and more—each introduced with the same tender humor and practical detail. The book weaves together domestic scenes, modest lessons, and the quiet joy of watching a pet learn tricks, offering listeners a nostalgic glimpse into a world where every animal holds a story worth recounting.
