We are big fans of Bill Martin Jr.'s classic children's books like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. When I saw this featured as a new book in our local library, I figured it would be a hit. It's short, it's sweet, it has adorable illustrations and a rhyming narrative - what's not to like? Our girls are almost too old for books like this, but we still enjoyed reading it together. Perfect for the preschool ages.
Best for kids ages 3 and up
Early literacy Skills: print Motivation, Phonological Awareness, Narrative Skills
From cover:
Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, the day is almost done.
Not yet, Mother, I still can see the sun.
Kitty Cat should be getting ready for bed, but instead, she's playing peekaboo, imagining she's in outer space, tickling her toes, and more.
Cute illustration help this book along, but it is the rhyming and the repetition that will get kids hooked.

Sweet illustrations of a little kitty going through her bedtime routine make this a good choice for a bedtime story.
"'Kitty Cat, Kitty cat,
the day is almost done.'
'Not yet, Mother,
I still can see the sun.'"
For a while, each of Mother's requests elicits a less than enthusiastic response - until it's time to read a book. Then Kitty Cat is ready to settle into her routine and snuggle into bed.

Nice couplets in a call-and-response between Mother Cat and Kitty Cat. "Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat / are you in the tub? / Not yet, Mother / I do not like to scrub." I'm really enjoying the illustrations--I love the palette and the images are big enough for storytime while still having some rich details (patterns on the pillowcase & PJs; texture on the floors and chairs).
My 4-year-old loved this rhyming book about a little cat who slowly gets ready for bed.
It starts out with a response I hear every night!
"Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, the day is almost done.
"Not yet, Mother, I still can see the sun."
Kitty does all the things to get ready for bed but does it at her own slow pace.

With a whole series of summer bedtime storytimes on the horizon, this new book that will carry well to a family audience is eagerly embraced! Kitty Cat is being called to bedtime but resisting--much like a little child does. Delightful illustrations and couplet text make this a sure hit for both readaloud and lap audiences!
Picture Book 39: I really liked this book because it shows how children will do anything so they don't have to go to bed. Kitty cat went under the chair, played with her toes, went to outer space, etc. It's a cute book that reminded me of when I was younger and how I never wanted to take a bath and go to sleep.
This book has rhymes and repetition throughout the book. Illustrations are good and the book is very colorful. Although it is a short book, it tells children what they should do before they go to sleep. it does not have many words and the font size is very large. children will have fun reading it.

It is time for Kitty Kat to go to bed, but she would rather play. As her mother calls out instructions, Kitty Kat responds with reasons why she isn't doing what her mother wants. This would be a great book to share with early readers, who could read the Kitty Kat parts alongside with a parent.
Cute story and pictures! We have the first book, "Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat Are You Waking Up?" and this is a cute sequel to it. Just ordered this from Scholastic books, and my son loves it. Repetition and rhyme, and sweet pictures make this a good one for ages 3-6!
Sweet story about momma kitty trying to get her baby to bed. The words say one thing but the illustrations take the story to the next level of adorable by showing what is truly going on through the bedtime routines.
A good bedtime book with a Patty Cake rhyme and rhythm feel to it. The cats are cute to look at. And the kitten does have its dawdling habits that many other children do. Not bad. Would be interesting in a PJ storytime.
Toddlerrific bedtime read aloud that gives a nod and a wink to parental frustrations. Plus kitten toes! How could you not like a book that prominently features kitten toes? Kitten toes!
After his mother tells him to stop playing video games and go outside, a young boy tries to catch the last leaf on a tree, thinking it will bring him luck.
Kitty cat needs to wind down for the day and the story walks you through it. Rhyme and repetition will engage readers in this easy to read story.
Definitely fiction. Any book in which a cat voluntarily takes a bath and brushes her teeth is practically fantasy!
Great illustrations. Not sure why Kitty Cat needs panamas but not daytime clothes, though.
Great little book about bedtime, and all the meandering and time wasting that goes with it.
Great take on a classic rhyme, simple and rhyme works well.
A cute bed time book where the kitten keeps putting off bedtime.
Good baby shower book.
illustrations reminiscent of Rosemary Wells, a nice rhyming bedtime story
Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Going to Sleep? by Bill Martin Jr. is the sequel to Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Waking Up?. Now it's bed time and the little kitty isn't sure he's ready yet.
Using the easy and addictive rhymes Martin is known for, this book is both easy to read and soothing to listen to. Slowly but surely Mama cat eases her little one into bed, giving him one last chance to do all those things.
