About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Though the story and illustrations here are the stuff of Saturday morning TV cartoons, Johnston's elaborate paper engineering gives this collaboration charm and distinction. When the book is opened and book held upright, the spreads become miniature stage sets, with text printed on both the resulting backdrops and floors. The story begins as three felines famously bemoan the loss of their mittens. Rainbow ("a bird with rainbow-colored feathers") tells them that a bird from Magic Mountain "flew away with them into the enchanted forest." On their journey to reclaim the purloined paw covers, the kittens are helped by Rainbow's friends, each of whom offers a rhyming clue to the next step. Miss Muffet, Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Bears put in appearances, but the tale feels aimless and artificial. Ages 3-7.

Review:

Help the three little kittens find their mittens in a title which packs in pull taps, wheels, and lift-up flaps. The story is cunning and fun, leading to an inviting activity guide for kids with the dexterity to manipulate figures. Three Little Kittens In The Enchanted Forest is a great treat! -- Midwest Book Review
