The Shy Little Kitten (Little Golden Books)

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.

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 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.

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.
