Look, it's true, I’m more of a dog person thansomeone with a fetish for felines, but Itty Bitty Kitty is so utterly adorbs and cute (although whatever you do, DON'T call her that), how could one not want to cuddle her up.

Itty Bitty Kitty features in allthree tales that appear in each of the four five books (latest in theseries out November 2024!) in this junior fiction series. She is teeny tiny.Winsome and mischievous. But don’t let her size fool you. With her tigressattitude and feline smarts, Kitty is the penultimate adventurer, even if thoseadventures extend no further than her home with her Humans.

Told in endearing first person cat-speak,each instalment is sweet and manageable for young newly independent and emerging readers. Engaginglyillustrated chapters provide plenty of visual stimulation. Text is punctuatedwith bolded words that break up the text and signify significance.

Typography aside, Kitty’s tales arefull of playful fun and cheeky abandon, perfectly encapsulating the personalityof a fun-loving kitten. Kitty’s voice is full of innocence and sincerity, oftenpeppered with indignation when things don’t quite go her way or her Humans misinterprether benign actions as misdemeanours.

With her repertoire of cunning defencemoves and innate caring nature for her favourite Human, Leo, Kitty’s antics notonly score big delight with young readers, they melt hearts, too. Cute and beguiling,Kitty’s stories cover familiar family issues like dealing with the baby sitter,going to school for the first time and, worse, visiting the vet! All from onpussy cat’s point of view. Which is why this series is so seriously amusing andalluring, just like a feather stick cat toy.

Leap into it soon! You won’t bedisappointed. Ideal for cat lovers and dog lovers who dote on a well-told tale straightfrom the animal’s mouth.
