            I chose this book because it reminded me of another book that I had read by this author that I really liked. The book is about three kittens that get new mittens. They put on their new mittens and go out to play. While playing outside, the kittens lose their new mittens and their mother will not allow them to have any pie until they find their new mittens. The book ends right where it begin. The kittens put on their mittens and go out to play.

           

            The illustrations in this book are very bright and vivid. The pictures are full page pictures and are very big in detail.  Most of the illustrations in the book are double page spread. The illustrations are done using graphite, color pencil, and watercolors.

            This book would be good to use with younger children ages Pre-Kindergarten to second grade. The book can be good to use to teach a good many lessons.  One lesson it would be good to use with is when talking about rhymes. The book uses a good many rhymes like kittens and mittens. This book is also a nursery rhyme, so I would us it when discussing what nursery rhymes are and the different genres of books.  I would also use it to tell children how important it is to keep up with things and not to lose them. This author has won an award, but not with this book.
