In The Littlest Christmas Kitten, a mother cat searches for her lost kitten in the stable just before the arrival of Mary and Joseph. The vivid imaginary comes alive not only in the beautiful illustrations, but also in the words. The reader will feel "a rush of air" and the restlessness of the animals. Along with the animals, the reader will begin to feel expectant. Sounds come alive as the sheep baa and the donkeys bray, and then…the singing of angels. The hay that is a bed for a kitten is also soft enough for Baby Jesus. The purring of a cat soothes the soul. The charming illustrations draw the reader into the story. The simple lines create a wonderful visual that will be adored by young and old. Readers will appreciate the explanations of the Christmas symbols in the back. The Littlest Christmas Kitten will delight readers of all ages"! Kay Walsh, writer,

This is what others have to say about the book:
Susan Sales Harkins, software consultant and writer I love a story that uses just the right words and only those words. Leona Jackson tells the Christmas story using few words, but they are the right words…Kelly Dupre does a good job of supporting the story with her unique illustrations. They’re elegant, precise, and support the story without upstaging it. I especially enjoy their playful simplicity. School Library Journal A mother cat hunts all over a barn for her smallest kitten and finally finds it asleep in a manger just as two people enter. Before the night is over, the manger cradles a certain special infant, and cats have been telling this tale to their descendants ever since. Short explanations of such symbols as mangers and candy canes are given at the end of the book. The illustrations, which look to be woodcuts, are in an appealing primitive style, and the text is simple and unadorned. Betty Farber, President, Preschool Publications, Inc. This lovely book will appeal to children because of the simplicity and charm of the story, and its unique illustrations. There is just enough suspense to make the children eager to know what comes next, and to rejoice in its happy ending. |
I am a former family and consumer sciences teacher who taught child development classes. I always felt it was important that my students see the importance of reading good books to young children. I would bring loads of children's books to class for their evaluation and for later reading to the children in play school. My students always enjoyed their interaction with the children.
