Peeking Kitty books are written to stimulate imagination, curiosity, expression and the joy of reading. Linda strives to acquaint young readers and reinvigorate parents with the beauty and lyrical magic of the written and spoken word. She believes real learning happens when children experience stories read out loud and when they have the tactile experience of the feel and the smell of a real book in their hands. Interactive The Let s Talk About the Book and The Words I Heard pages help promote real conversations between children and parents; essential for building lasting relationships and a well balanced sense of self and of the world. Linda says, The love and use of real words; may be one of the looming casualties of the 21st Century. Making a point as quickly as possible seems to be the only purpose of text-ing, twittering and screen flashing sound bites. Truncated language, acronyms and the loss of the ever friendly vowel is eroding the fabric of communication."
