It's a bright spring day in the farmyard and Kitten is meeting all sorts of animals and their young, including frogs and tadpoles, owls and owlets and many more. In this first book in the Kitten series, rhyming couplets capture the animals' sounds and actions, making it a fantastic interactive read-aloud. Young readers will enjoy mimicking animal sounds, picking out seasonal details in the exquisite mixed-media art and searching for and finding Kitten on every page.

The Kitten series follows a lovable feline around the farmyard over the course of one day as she encounters different animals. Each title in the four-book series is set in a different season.

      PreS-It is spring on the farm, and Kitten is out exploring and visiting the new babies. The feline sees the bees on the flowers, the redwing blackbird by its nest, a chick, a duckling hatching, and more. At the end of a busy day, the cat returns to a house and settles down for a night of sweet dreams. The text and the mixed-media illustrations are at times inconsistent with what is described and portrayed, e.g., "Frog croaks, /Tadpole glistens" shows the pair, but the tadpole does not "glisten." A few pages later, "Pig oinks, /Piglet drinks." Directly below the text, Kitten is lapping milk from a bowl, while on the left-hand side of the spread a piglet is shown nursing. The illustrations are filled with delightful images and the brief text will appeal to the very young."Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH"

      Ten short couplets reflect a kitten's observations on mother-baby interactions on a farm at springtime. The text is swift and engaging: "Morning hums, / Kitten listens. / Frog croaks, / tadpole glistens." At day's end, "Evening whispers, / Moonlight beams. / Door opens, / Kitten dreams." Colorful mixed-media illustrations reflect the tone and tenor of the text, with glimpses of Kitten tucked into each double-page spread.
