I am.looking for a book I read between 1975-1980. It was a middle school aged book. The.main character was a 10 to 12 year old girl. I can’t remember how, but she finds a cat who turns super small – like tiny enough to sit behind her ear. He talks to her and helps her through the trials of her life.
That’s all I can remember. Thanks so much!
If it could possibly be a tiny dog, try No Flying in the House.
The Wednesday Witch, by Ruth Chew? The cat Cinders gets cut down to small size by a pair of magic scissors. She lives in the girl’s desk drawer and gets fed tiny bits of dinner, helps the girl with her homework, and goes to school with her and hides in her hair. This isn’t the main plot of the book, but it may have been what stood out in your memory?
