This was a fairly entertaining and cute read. I liked how the cats solved all their problems. It was fun to see what they would do in each circumstance. I would probably recommend.

This is a cute book that features three stories about anthropomorphic cats who are brother and sister. The stories are short, with colorful cartoonish illustrations on each page. The font is large and children will likely be able to relate to the situations.

A cute book for early readers. The two cats go to school with other cats. The book is divided into little chapters, which is fun for emerging readers. I enjoy the illustrations.

Tomie dePaola does an excellent job of drawing the facial expressions of Kit and Kat in this book. Actually, their expressions remind me a lot of those of Young Tomie in the 26 Fairmount Avenue series; they emote happiness and sadness very effectively.

The three adventures in Kit and Kat are short by necessity, but demonstrate well the ways that the two brother-and-sister cats learn how to solve their problems with the help of each other. These stories carry a good amount of charm and are a great starting place for emerging readers. I certainly would recommend Kit and Kat, and I'd give it at least one and a half stars.

This book was about Kit and Kat, and they went to Grandma and Grandpa's, and they had a sleepover, just like we did. I liked this book.
