A very charming, Autumn time story about a girl and her cat finding a lost cat as they go about their autumn adventures in the woods. The illustrations perfectly render a chilly, autumn day and are very cute. I highly recommend this one. ( )

Nice autumn book with wonderful illustrations and sparkly leaves. I like the just-a-touch-of-Halloween. ( )

I read this book twice to my three-year-old granddaughter by her request although she declined to take it home. The story is not only cute, but the book is gorgeous! It has shiny golden falling leaves throughout and surprising little square windows between some of the pages. It's the story of a lost kitten who is soon returned to its home on a dark autumn night by a little girl who, in the process of doing this, loses track of her own cat. ( )

Ollie, the sweet little girl who starred in British author/illustrator Nicola Killen's The Little Reindeer and The Little Rabbit, returns in this third entertaining adventure. Playing outside one windy fall day, Ollie and her cat Pumpkin encounter a lost kitten, whom they immediately befriend. After an enjoyable romp, Ollie realizes that the kitten belongs to someone, and is led by a seemingly magical path to the kitten's house deep in the woods. Becoming lost herself on the way home, Ollie is in turn rescued by Pumpkin, and receives a thank-you gift from the lost kitten's owner the next morning...

The second of Ollie's adventures I have read - after enjoying The Little Reindeer, I somehow missed The Little Rabbit - The Little Kitten was an absolute charmer! It's been on order at my library system for months, and finally came in a few weeks ago, explaining my reading this autumnal tale in January. Although Halloween isn't specifically mentioned, the setting, theme and conclusion of the story - the kitten belongs to a local witch - make this a suitable read for that holiday. For my part, I found the story appealing, and the artwork charming. I loved the use of shiny foil for some of the leaves, and the die-cuts in some of the pages. The reveal at the end was a very nice touch, given my love for all things witchy. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed other stories about Ollie and her adventures, as well as to all picture-book readers looking for sweet Halloween fare. ( )

Beautiful book, with peek-a-boo pages ( )
