Granted, I'm not the intended audience, but seriously, this seems random and boring to me. Cute pix though. ( )

This is a cute little story about a shy kittens adventure throughout the farm and her new friendships with the animals she meets when she gets separated from her mothers and brothers and sisters. ( )

This book is a fantasy picture book done in ink and wash. It is appropriate for the primary grades. In this story, 6 little kittens are born to a barn cat. The 6th little kitten is very shy, unlike her brothers and sisters. She lags behind one day on a walk, and finds all sorts of friends as she tries to find her way home. When she arrives home with the help of a small black puppy, she and her friends and family have a picnic. It turns out that the shy little kitten was not so shy after all, and she had the best day imaginable making all of her new friends.
This book is a good example of fantasy because it follows a kitten and her thoughts, as well as the words and human interactions of various animals.
This book has a good example of a well developed plot with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It also has a clear antagonist (shyness) and a clear protagonist (the shy kitten.)
This book could be used in a lesson about different kinds of personalities.
This could be used in a lesson about accepting all types of people and learning to make new friends. ( )
