About the Book
What happens when three curious, energetic kittens wander out of the Shawville Fairgrounds and straight into the local ice arena? Pure hockey magic!
In this charming sequel to Grandma’s Lost Kittens at the Shawville Fair, the spirited offspring of a legendary neighborhood cat named Fang find themselves in the middle of a fast-paced hockey match. When the home team faces trouble on the ice, these tiny, quick-footed felines step up to lace on their skates (in their own unique way) and show everyone what true teamwork looks like.
Written in lively, rhythmic verse by former elementary school teacher Muriel Davies, Hockey Kittens combines classic Canadian hockey culture with playful animal antics. Paired with colorful, expressive illustrations by Quebec artist Tina Michaud, this book is bound to become a favorite at bedtime, in the classroom, or on the team bus.
