Three Little Kittens
is an adaptation of an old folk song brought to life by the vibrant illustrations of Caldecott-honored artist Paul Galdone. Their musical origin gives the words a fun tempo when read aloud that children are quick to catch on to. Small kids in particular will relate to these earnest little kittens that just can’t keep their mittens out of trouble. Lost, then found, soiled, then washed- the mittens offer a lesson in honesty and responsibility as well as pages of fun imagery. The sight of bright colored mittens on the paws of kittens will make any pet loving toddler squeal in amusement.
The illustrations are filled with images of warmth, love, and home. By creating a contrast between the cozy indoor scenes and the crisp outdoor pictures, Galdone’s art brings a sense of comfort to young readers as they are reminded of their own snow day experiences and homemade treats.
Such sensory rich details as the mother cat baking in her apron, the background kitchen decor, the leaves falling outside the window, and the sprawling garden (complete with picket fence and wildlife) help to make Three Little Kittens
a favorite with small children both at home and away.
