When I saw this book I worried that the story would be too simple and the pictures too basic for my four-yr old to enjoy (she is not reading solo yet so it is a read-aloud book for us right now). I was wrong! She has had me read it every night for 2 weeks at bedtime and the easy subject matter, rhythm and monochrome drawings make it a calming bedtime book.The text is simple enough for it to be a good early reader book.The pictures are the sort which make me wish I had an ounce of artistic talent - they look effortless but the facial expressions of the kitten are quite wonderful. I also love how the simple description of the kitten pulling itself together, wiggling her bottom and springing forward conjured up the image of my childhood cat doing just that.Buy it today!
