Young
children all know the Mother Goose rhyme of the kittens who have lost
their mittens, but they've never seen it illustrated with so much
energy, beauty, and flair. Preschoolers will delight in these cuddly
kittens as they frolic outside in the falling leaves, get their whiskers
sticky while eating a just-baked apple pie, and do the washing-up under
Mama Cat's watchful gaze.
Caldecott Medal-winning, New York Times
bestselling author/artist Jerry Pinkney brings a gloriously vivid
palette, delightful details and tremendous warmth to his version of this
favorite nursery rhyme.
