5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Kitty!, March 1, 2003

By	Keeneye Reviews (Northeastern USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Shy Little Kitten (Little Golden Storybook) (Hardcover)

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.

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.
