Description
Alexander is a playful kitten who lands in the local animal shelter after changes at his farm home. He makes fast furry friends, but starts to lose hope as he watches potential adopters pass him by day after day.
You see, Alexander has some unique features that make him different from the other kittens. Some visitors even chuckle at his distinctive looks!
Will a family ever choose a kitten like him with his big, floppy ears and big, white patch around his eye?
Find out in this heartwarming illustrated book that teaches children about kindness, inclusion, and celebrating things that make us special in our own way!

Alexander Finds a Home is a cute cat picture book. When a family of kittens are brought to a shelter will they all be adopted? I loved how positive the book was as it shared the kitten’s perspective of the shelter. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who loves cats! Kids can learn a lot while enjoying a fun and cute story. I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in trade for my honest opinion. My thoughts are my own.

This book was really cute and wholesome, a little sad for the animal lover but with a great happy ending. Drives a good message that everyone is special and there’s someone out there to appreciate what makes you different. The artwork was simple yet stunning. A great book for the cat lover!

Such a fun book for toddlers.

As a cat mom to a perfect gray cat, I loved the story of Alexander and Ellie in "Alexander Finds a Home". When Alexander and his siblings end up in a shelter awaiting adoption, Alexander is constantly overlooked because of how he looks. Patrons constantly remark at how gray cats are boring, and his white patch is funny and his ears are too big. Until Ellie! I think this is a great lesson on how we may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we are someone's idea of "perfect", like Alexander was Ellie's idea of perfect.

This book was so lovely. The story was very sweet and the ending was nice. The colour was stunning throughout the book and the illustrations were amazing, the images were so crisp. A great tale of inclusion and finding love and care. A perfect read for a cat lover.
