Three Little Kittens (2010)

Three Little Kittens by Jerry Pinkney (2010) is for children who like looking at kittens. That’s about it. There is no story here. In this book, Pinkney uses a familiar nursery rhyme to wallow in fur. There’s precious little in the illustrations that add content to the text. Three kittens put on their new mittens and play with a ball of yarn outside. We see fall leaves, a tree stump, a small wooden barrel, and a few birds. Inside the felines’ home is equally out of sight. Honestly, the kittens aren’t even all that adorable.
