Pocket Kitten Book Review

I bought a board book today called Pocket Kitten (ISBN 0859539059), by Michael Twinn and illustrated by Pam Adams. It's very cute, and the little kitten in the story, Lucky, looks a lot like one of Madeline's cats named Tigger. I enjoyed it so much that I wrote an Amazon.com review, which I figured I'd share with all the Starblinders who read my blog. Here we go...

It's a short and simple book, with each page describing a kitten named Lucky and the things he does, such as climbing and seeing in the dark. The art is beautiful, with a perfect balance between cuteness and realism, and with enough detail to avoid being boring, yet not so much to confuse the youngest readers. The book itself is shaped like a kitten as well. Potential buyers should note that there are two editions of this available, a small "Pocket Kitten" version about the size of a Post-It note, and a larger version. This review is based on the pocket version, though I suspect the two are much the same. Pocket Kitten is a wonderful addition to the bookshelf of any child young enough to enjoy board books, or anyone of any age who appreciates cute kitten art.

I like how the kitten looks at you when you hold it at a certain angle...Yet to some degree it looks sarcastic. :-D
