A seek-and-find book invites Ba’s youngest fans to help find his lost kitten.
It’s time for bed, George tells Bartholomew. "Nah!" says Ba. He needs to find Little Black Kitten first! With this irresistible lift-the-flap book, readers can help a cranky Ba hunt for his pet by lifting up a chair skirt, sliding back some draperies, checking under the tablecloth, even peeking behind the bathroom door. Along the way, they’re sure to find some hidden things they didn’t expect - but no Little Black Kitten - until Ba is ready to roll down the covers and crawl into bed. Surprise!

About the author
Virginia Miller
58 books8 followersVirginia Miller wrote and illustrated her first George and Bartholomew story after observing a toddler's frustration with potty training. The result was ON YOUR POTTY!, followed by more George and Ba books acclaimed for their simple, authentic dialogue, expressive illustrations, and toddler-friendly themes.
"The next most likely problem needing book treatment," Virginia says, "seemed to be eating -- or not eating -- one's dinner." The winsome EAT YOUR DINNER dramatizes this all-too familiar conflict at the dinner table; in its review of EAT YOUR DINNER, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL declared, "Everything about this book will appeal to toddlers."
"These books," Virginia says, "are intended to help make light of common parent-child conflicts because if they make you smile, things don't seem so bad." She hopes that every parent and child will recognize the benefits and trials of unconditional love that George the father bear and Bartholomew the child bear share. "When the going gets tough for Bartholomew, it's comforting to him to know that George is always there for him--and will love him through all his moods."

Where Is Little Black Kitten? (George and Ba) by Virginia Miller is a lift the flap, seek and find book following Ba as he searches for the black kitten.
Ba, a young bear, is very upset that the Little Black Kitten is gone. George and Ba search under the chair skirt, behind some draperies, under the tablecloth, behind the bathroom door and under the bed. While they discover some hidden things, Ba is not found, until it's time for bed.
The straight-forward text follows the search for the lost kitten.
The cute illustrations done in watercolor and pencil should please younger readers. Those who know the characters may enjoy this even more.
For ages 2 to 4, cats, bears, lost pets, bedtime, and fans of Virginia Miller.
