I used to raise kittens for a local shelter, and I was amazed at how perfectly the illustrations in this book capture the essence of kitten-hood--without being stiff or overly artsy. The story is simple and sweet, and fun to read aloud.

Both of my children, ages 4 and 2, really enjoy this delightful story. The illustrations are very realistic and the story is quite appealing to young children.
