Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 2–Mittens spends most of the book looking for a safe, quiet place to hide in his new home. Frightened, the kitten cries, bringing Nick, his owner, to his rescue. The controlled vocabulary in this gentle, unassuming story is made up primarily of one-syllable words, and the sentence structure is very basic. The soft pastel illustrations are simple and uncluttered and enhance the quiet tone of the text. This title would be good for easy-reader collections and could be used in toddler storytimes.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

PreS-K. The beautiful physical immediacy of the new pet story will draw emergent readers to this small My First title in the I Can Read series. Simple words in big, clear type and the cozy pictures tell the story from the viewpoint of the small, furry kitten, Mittens, fearful in his new home, searching for a safe place just for him. Everything is new and big and scary. He looks for a place behind the television (too loud), and under the sofa (too dark). Finally, he hides under a bed, where Nick finds him and slowly coaxes him out to curl up in his arms. Preschoolers will appreciate the realism of the kitten's story, as they recognize from their own experience how it feels to be a small creature in a giant world. Hazel Rochman
