Thank you to the author, illustrator, and publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I absolutely loved the cover/subject matter for this book. I love cats!! And I love reading nice, heartwarming stories about cats. This is a lovely book, and I think it would be great for middle grade - young readers.

I did not know that this was not a Kindle download, that is all that I read and review.

Such a bummer, I love cats.

Thanks for the opportunity but as I mentioned I only read Kindle copies

What a precious book! It has beautiful illustrations of kittens and the story was precious. I loved how at the end the author put in tips to explain to children how to care for and handle kittens. I received a complimentary copy from Charlesbridge via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Who isn’t smitten with kittens? This adorable book goes through a day in the life of a kitten (or kittens). It’s a simple book, but perfect for young children (toddlers to preschool age). I like the pencil-drawn illustrations with a few pops of color for accentuation. I’ll definitely be adding this to my collection of cat-themed children’s books.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Charlesbridge Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's book. This is a cute rhyming book. I liked the different colors, had nice graphics. I think this is probably a good early reader-the kids can almost memorize the story or make up a new one from the pictures. Good association of words and objects. 4 stars

Slight, but very very gorgeous, this look at kittens is, with the science-y bit at the end, supposed to train the young human in cohabiting with baby cats. As such it shows them chasing birds on the TV, demolishing the loo roll, and going to sleep a lot. Er, it's the kittens doing all those things, mind – not the young humans. They're never shown in the distractingly good visuals, which I hope don't get in the way of the message getting across. What I think could do that as well is the clunky way the rhyme scheme just gets abandoned at the close – to me having this in verse is an either/or decision, not one to change your mind over just because you've said all you have to say. Still, the craft on the page here should gain success status for this book, which would be my hope for it too.

A short and very sweet story told in rhyme about adorable kittens with fun kitten facts listed at the end. Beautiful pictures. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is an adorable book that explains to younger children some of things that kittens like to do. The illustrations were cute. The language was appropriate for younger children. I liked at the end how it had a list of facts and ways to take care of your kitten. Cute read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for providing me access to this ARC.

This is a cute little picture book that cat lovers will certainly enjoy. It would make a nice read aloud.
