Review
“Galdone lends new life and sense to the verse in this exuberant retelling of the Mother Goose rhyme with four delightful feline characters. The large type is readable and inviting, with only one or two lines of text per page. Double-page spreads are filled with vibrant watercolour washes over ink sketches. . . . This refreshingly hearty version of the nonsense verse will be as much a favourite of adult storytellers as it will be of toddler listeners.” (School Library Journal )
"Galdone’s characteristically exuberant pen-and-wash drawings fill these pages with feline faces, first rueful, then joyful, then repentant, and finally excited about the prospects of catching ‘a rat close by.’ This is one of those sustained nursery rhymes that initiates young listeners into the concentration required for stories, and there’s enough dramatic movement and colour contrast in the art to hold toddlers’ attention. . . . Galdone’s style is especially suited to group sessions." (Bulletin )

About the Author
Paul Galdone was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1907 and emigrated to the United States in 1928. After finishing his studies at the Art Student League and the New York School of Industrial Design, Mr. Galdone worked in the art department of a major publishing house. There he was introduced to the process of bookmaking, an activity that was soon to become his lifelong career. Before his death in 1986, Mr. Galdone illustrated almost three hundred books, many of which he himself wrote or retold. He is fondly remembered for his contemporary style, bright earthy humor, and action-filled illustrations, which will continue to delight for generations to come.

This review is from: Three Little Kittens Book & CD (Read Along Book & CD) (Paperback)
Our family enjoys Paul Galdone's books. I love the simplicity and repetition in The Three Little Kittens. Three Billy Goat's Gruff is probably my son's favorite...my husband and I have fun doing the voices for the goats. Our son is 2.5 and this book is perfect for him.
