Beautiful illustrations!

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super simple story and very traditional illustrations tell the story of a cat playing hard all day and then cleaning up before bed.

The smooth, lovely writing of Eileen Spinelli works perfectly with the art of Anne Mortimer in this book. I especially like the way that the cat's eyes are drawn, so lifelike and laden with energy. I can see Kittycat Lullaby being liked very much by cat lovers, especially by small children who have a cat, or love one. As a whole, the poem reads like a lullaby to a kitten, but parts of it sound very much like a lullaby that could calm the heart of any human child. I would probably give one and a half stars to this book.

I sang the words of this story to the tune of Brahms' lullaby and our girls just loved it. It's soothing and great for bedtime. We read this one several times.
