Charming Kittens

It's the illustrations in "Five Little Kittens" that make this book a pleasure. Elizabeth Sayles inviting pastel illustrations capture the essence of both human emotion and feline behavior with a charming balance of humor and mystery. It is the soft shapes and colors combined with the individual personalities of each little kitten that really make you want to snuggle up and share them with a little one....or two, or five. It's a must have for parents and children with a fondness for cats, a sense of humor, and an appreciation for art.

A mom of a little girl

My daughter really likes this book. The story is about a mama and papa cat and their five little kittens. It begins with the kittens waking up in the morning and then being tucked into bed at night. They eat, bathe, and play with their little toy mouse during the day. My only complaint with the book (and it is minor) is that there are three pages that talk about the kittens bathing or washing. I would have preferred a little more variety in their daily activities, but it is still a wonderful book. My daughter really enjoys the rhyme.
