I Take Care of My Kitten

by Michael Slack (text) & illus. by Michael Slack
Chronicle. (Happy Little Pets). Feb. 2023. 16p. Board $14.99. ISBN 9781797205274.
COPY ISBN
PreS-K–In the “Happy Little Pets” series, a book that pretends the kitten is right inside the pages, and through interactive flaps, slides, and finger-walks, allows children to become familiar with what they can expect as pet owners. The bright eyes of the kitten gaze out at the toddler looking at the book, with close-ups of food, water, and environment (scratching post, etc.) and basic care. This book is not meant to train children, or the pet, but just to introduce them to one another.
VERDICT An inviting resource, and a good book to have on hand for class mascots, or for families picking up more in-depth books on pets.
