From Booklist

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
