Toddlers and preschoolers should enjoy this tale, perfect for naptime. The story follows a pussycat that chases rainbows and mice, and smells flowers. Tired after an adventurous day, the kitten crawls off to its basket for sleep - allowing its new mouse friend to snuggle alongside.

This gentle book, with its reassuring nature, can be of aid to young children who fear the dark or sleeping alone. It's comforting tone can help even the most frightened child. Mortimer has chosen relaxing and soothing colors, many in pastel shades, to guide the calming storyline. The quiet serenity of the art is augmented by the lack of harsh lines and angles. Libraries that offer a bedtime storytime will find this a good choice.

Anne Mortimer does it again with this dear little book filled with her beautiful cat illustrations. The star of this story is a tabby kitten with a white bib and four white socks. We follow him through his busy day of mischief and exploration. The details and soft colors bring the kitten's world to life with such charm. Eileen Spinelli has written a text that can help to reasure any curious and mischievous little explorers that you may know that they are understood and cherished just as this lively kitten is.

A great book for the child who loves cats.
