Description
If you see a cuddly kitten, say ahhh! If you see a dozing dormouse, say shhh! But what if you see a spooky spider…or a cranky crocodile?
From a pretty peacock (oooh!) to some slimy slugs (yuck!), this simple, interactive look at various animals and the reactions they evoke will coax giggles and spirited responses from young children as they follow along.
From acclaimed author-illustrator John Butler, If You See a Kitten is the perfect read-aloud book young children will want to hear again and again.
Reviews
“Although words are minimal, the illustrations, primarily in gold and brown tones across glossy spreads, are irresistible. This title will have particular appeal for toddlers.” ―School Library Journal
“The delicately detailed illustrations are quite wonderful… Situated against a plain creamy background, each intricately drawn creature is an exquisite naturalistic rendering, requiring no extra fanfare. Perfect for preschoolers and younger, Butler’s tale easily lends itself to group read aloud settings, with each successive reading sure to become more riotous as the children become familiar with their responses.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Butler invites youngsters to revel in the reactions to 10 splendidly rendered portraits… Children, especially those on the younger end of the target audience, will likely embrace this handsome book’s exhortations…” ―Publishers Weekly
“The best part of this book is the soft, realistic, luminescent illustrations, which lead readers through the questions and humorous answers.” ―Observer Dispatch
