This picaresque novella will soften the hardest heart. When a mother cat leads her kittens into the barnyard sunshine, one kitten lingers behind and thus begins her adventures. She takes a walk with a mole through the countryside and the two hap upon a frog whose enormous mouth sends them into gales of laughter. A shaggy puppy then offers to lead the kitten home but not before he busies himself yapping at a squirrel who drops a nut on his nose! Home at last, the kitten joins a barnyard picnic but a bee-stung frog causes a stir and everyone dives into the brook for safety! It isn't long though before merriment is restored. 'This was the best day ever!' the little kitten exclaims. Tenggren's illustrations are lovely and most pleasing. A memorable tale and one the reader will return to time and again.

I love Little Golden Books like this one, and my children do, too. They always have a good story inside them, which is pleasing to both children and adults. These are classic stories all children should have a chance to read.

This is an exceedingly cute book. The story itself is no great shakes: it's basically just a kitten walking around and meeting other animals, getting lost, and trying to find her way home. Nothing terribly interesting happens during her walk, and the book just kinda ends with nothing happening. It's like Seinfeld with kittens, and without the misanthropy. The real reason to get this book, and the reason to get any of the classic Golden Books, is because of Gustaf Tenggren's artwork. The art is gorgeous, and every page sparkles with life. I have never seen cuter renditions of kittens and puppies. It's a great book to just open up and look at, without reading the story.

I read this to our son, sadly, after he "out grew" these books, they were passed on. Happily, after searching all over I found these treasures on Amazon and now have a new collection for our beautiful grand daughter to enjoy.

THE SHY LITTLE KITTEN is a purr-fect way to introduce my granddaughter to the wonders of Little Golden Books.The illustrations are wonderful and, as always, the story is just the right length.

A Classic book for my grandchild after reading it when I grew up and reading it to my children when they were little.

The classic and amazing tale of a shy little kitten and her adventures with a puppy, a frog, and her fellow kittenly beings. Not for the faint of heart.

This book does not teach any lessons whatsoever on overcoming shyness.
