Kittens Book

Simple text and photographs present the physical characteristics and behavior of kittens.

Children's Literature

Clear, inviting pictures of little kittens are accompanied by simple sentences, usually one per page, describing the animal in the photo. Beginning readers will be drawn by the color photographs of these adorable baby animals. Written at reading level 2, and often repeating words and sounds, this will be just right for the emergent reader. The question on the last page provides a simple check for reading comprehension. This is one of six books in the "Baby Animals" series, each focusing on a domestic or farm animal. The final pages of the book separate the words into parts of speech, provide pronunciation guides and the pages on which each word appears. Sight words are listed with a drawing. 1999, Abdo Publishing, Ages 5 to 8, $17.27. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
