I do not like this book - the writing style is very outdated (published in 1946) and the 'shy little kitten' part makes me feel like the author is referring to girls in general, for some reason. But Kate seems to really enjoy it, so out it comes every night.

I read this while waiting for a table at the Swedish restaurant yesterday; it was at the Swedish shop across the street. The illustrator, Gustaf Tenggren, is Swedish-American. Anyway, I'm a sucker for cat books and the illustration of the shy little kitten looked very much like my big shy cat. The story was...well, for kids, but I did like the illustrations, which look like watercolor. The kittens just look so fuzzy! lol

Short book about a little kitten who gets separated from her siblings and mama and has a little adventure before finding her way back home. Cute, colorful illustrations that seem to stand the test of time, since the book was written over 60 years ago.

This gentle little narrative describes a shy kitten who goes for a walk with a mole. She meets a frog, a puppy, and a squirrel. Along with her mother, siblings and some other farm animals, they have a picnic.

Plot be damned, Logan likes any book with cute pictures of kittens or cats. And these are pretty darn cute. I find the plot dated and irritating to read, but Logan likes to "read" it to himself quite a bit.

I loved the Little Golden Book series growing up and was excited to see that they have found a resurgence in popularity. Great books for kids to grow up with!

Kept the attention of 2.5 year old for duration of book -- that in itself warrants a five star rating.

I really really liked this book because I had it since I was a baby and I really really like cats.

Troy picked up this book at a yard sale, and when I got a hold of it, I read this book out loud to my kitten. We both seemed to enjoy it.
Strangely, I'm considering the illustration on the last page as a tattoo.
Yes, I'm a crazy cat lady.

I was surprised by what good condition this was in, compared to other books from my childhood. then I realized that it wasn't from my childhood, it was a recent copy given to the girls. Man, that 1946 artwork is odd.

The Shy Little Kitten is a precious story about a kitten going on an adventure and meeting new friends along the way. It's a great story and a great addition to any kids bookshelf.

I got this for my daughter for Christmas. It is a "pillow book", so the pages are huge and my little girl can cuddle the book. Awwwww.
