Princess Super Kitty

PreS-K—Princess Super Kitty, who imagines herself as a cat, wears ears and a tail to enhance her look. Her mother indulges her by letting her speak in "meows," lap milk from a bowl, and eat her peanut butter and banana sandwich under the table. At nap time, she becomes Super Kitty, rescuing her baby brother from a tumble down the stairs and using her X-ray vision to view her older brother's underwear. Next she adds princess gear and becomes Princess Super Kitty. Again, both of her brothers and her mother play along with the moment. When bath time is announced, she becomes Water Lily Hula Porpoise Princess Super Kitty of the Sea, complete with a grass skirt, a seashell bikini top, and a big crown. The last scene shows a bathtub with the top part of the crown and flippers visible and the text says, "Meow." The colors in the illustrations are flat and contained within thick black lines. There is minimal background, but certainly enough to tell the story. This book is a gem. All small children would love to use their imaginations in such a fun way.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI
