A delightful little book about a little cat and his human who start off with sprinkles on a cupcake, go to the beach, build a giant sandcastle, work out at a gym, go rowing on a lake, visit a museum and end up back with sprinkles on a cupcake. The illustrations are jam-packed with all sorts of little treasures. Adorable!!
Rating 4 out of 5 paws for imagination on overdrive!

Peachtree Publishers, 2002
A cute little book for very early readers that helps them to learn animal types and sounds humans make when you see them. For instance, when you see a kitten, you say “Awww!” but when you see a slimy slug, you say “Yuck!” Of course the kitten is the cutest part of the book.
Rating 3 out of 5 paws for all kinds of animals (but only one feline).

A sweet poem about kittens,what else? Perfect for early readers, this book celebrates a kitten’s full and adventurous life growing from newborn to become a parent of its own. The illustrations are softly drawn, not much detail but perfect for young eyes and minds.
Rating 3 out of 5 paws for a sweetly written poem that my mom wishes she would have written.
