BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A mother and daughter out for a walk to find a kitten. They need help, and we see the action domino through the neighborhood as more residents come to help. A tribute to community efforts and cooperation.
I don't love the repetitive phrases, but young children might enjoy the predictability. The pictures are a well-integrated part of the story giving clues about what it coming and reflecting what has happened. I love that the story says the kitten put up a fight and then the little girl is shown with band aids on her arms. Ethnically diverse cast of characters reflecting different races and cultures of origin.
