Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged by their own clumsiness or when they are eager to help but end up creating more work for you. It is a perfect choice for little ones who are beginning to take on chores and need to see that even a messy start can lead to a heroic finish. Based on the true story of a cat who sailed with Matthew Flinders, the story follows Trim, a high-spirited kitten who accidentally causes chaos while trying to find his place on a ship. When a real danger arises in the form of a leaking cask, Trim's natural curiosity and sharp instincts allow him to save the day. This historical tale is a wonderful tool for discussing how our unique traits, even the ones that seem like 'too much' at times, can become our greatest strengths. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing their sense of responsibility and self-worth.
