My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

I loved the Shy Little Kitten Golden Book as a kid, and was pleasantly surprised to find it as a Step Into Reading book at our school book fair. It one that our six year old keep coming back to when picking out books to read aloud. A fun and colorful story.

A ridiculous story of how a kitten blatantly disobeys her mother and plays truant, thereby making acquaintances with good-for-nothing scruffy animals who manipulate the kitten until it is forced to give them a picnic party.

Shy little kitten sees life different from their brothers and sisters. This particular kitten has stripes and a quiet personality, but is willing to try new things, which leads to the best day ever.

Cute book for children beginning to read on their own; a worthy addition to the Step into Reading series.

Not a terribly consistent plotline.

It was really fun. My little brother missed all of it, but I didn't care. The shy little kitten became not very shy anymore and she became brave. -Tommy

Perhaps I would have been able to appreciate this adaptation more if I was familiar with the original. The illustrations were cute, though.
