Kittens! Kittens! Kittens!Susan Meyers
Susan Meyers wrote “Kittens! Kittens! Kittens!,”and David Walker illustrated it. This book has 29 pages. The font is large. The illustrations are eye-catching. David Walker used pencil sketches topped with layers of acrylic paint. The result is illustrations of kittens that you can feel with your eyes. The illustrations are rich and deep. The kittens are shown is different situations. They romp around, playing. They sleep, tangle themselves in yarn, eat, and explore. The words are sing-song rhymes. In a couple of spots, it reminds me of Dr. Suess—just not as off-the-wall. Parish loves the little girl’s dress. Of course, it helps that it is pink; Parish loves all things that are pink. There is a picture of the little girl with her pink dress, sitting on a tree limb. Since reading this book, Parish has developed a fascination with tree-climbing. “Do you like this book?” “Maybe Meme can make you one like that. Looks at all of these cats! Would you want that many cats?” “But don’t you think they are cute? Look at the gray one. This one looks like it is Siamese. Look at the fluffy tails.” This really surprises me. How can someone, especially my daughter, look at these obviously adorable cats and not think that they are cute? “Are you more of a dog person?” “Does this mean that you want to give the book away?” Isaac, my 15-month-old, really likes the pictures in this book. Maybe he will like cats when he gets older. “Kittens! Kittens! Kittens!” is an excellent book for girls starting to read. The rhyming will keep them inspired to keep reading. The most difficult word is “everywhere.” That word is found often in beginner books. Never mind that Parish does not like cats, this is a great book. |
