Three Little Kittens

Bibliographic Information: Pinkney, J. (2010). Three Little Kittens. New York, NY: Dial Books for Young Readers, a division of Penguin Young Readers Group.

Brief Annotation: The classic story of three little kittens who carelessly lose their mittens while having fun. When they find their mittens, their mother rewards them for being good little kittens.

Genre: Nursery Rhymes/Poetry

Grade Level: preK - 2

Readers who will like this book: Anyone who has gotten into trouble, but was able to get back out again.

Rating/Response: 3 out of 4. While the illustrations are gorgeous, I have never been a huge fan of this story. I find it troublesome how quickly mother goes from being mad to rewarding the kittens with pie. It is, however, still a fun story.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever lost something and had to search everywhere for it? How did that make you feel? Were you happy when you found it?
