The Three Little Kittens Shape Book

by Milo Winter (Illustrator)

Little youngsters all know of the Mother Goose rhyme of the kittens who have lost their mittens - however, they have never seen it presented with this much energy, excellence, and style.

Laughing Elephant's The Three Little Kittens recounts the basic story of the little kittens who lose their mittens, then quickly and joyfully rediscover them. Pre-schoolers will take pleasure in these cuddly little kittens as they skip outside in the falling leaves, get their mittens tacky from fruit pies, and do the cleaning under Mama Cat's vigilant eye. The magnificent illustrations bring superb details and colossal warmth to this version of a much-loved nursery rhyme, and the die-cut shape is very appealing to little eyes.

This is the perfect bedtime book. It is perfect for very young children and for animal lovers, and is sure to remain a favorite for a very long time.

This is a nice version of this poem, with cite illustrations. Mommy said I will never be allowed to eat pie while wearing mittens and that mommy cat should have seen the mess coming. Also I thought there should be one more page about the rat they found at the end, I kept looking for another page but never found it.
