I thought this book was so cute! I think I got this book six years ago when I was four. I really think the book is cute. I read a negative review that said they didn't like the book because it did not teach any lessons about overcoming your shyness. But the thing is that just because the title is "The Shy little kitten" does not mean it will teach you a lesson about overcoming your shyness. It's just an adjective there to describe the kitten's personality. I enjoyed the book though I wish it was longer. If you've read "Gretchen's world" or have heard of that book, I think it should've been the length of that (about fourty pages). Overall, It is a really good book for ages three and up. I also think that if you are a big fan of "Little Golden books" you will love this. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
This picaresque novella will soften the hardest heart. When a mother cat leads her kittens into the barnyard sunshine, one kitten lingers behind and thus begins her adventures. She takes a walk with a mole through the countryside and the two hap upon a frog whose enormous mouth sends them into gales of laughter. A shaggy puppy then offers to lead the kitten home but not before he busies himself yapping at a squirrel who drops a nut on his nose! Home at last, the kitten joins a barnyard picnic but a bee-stung frog causes a stir and everyone dives into the brook for safety! It isn't long though before merriment is restored. 'This was the best day ever!' the little kitten exclaims. Tenggren's illustrations are lovely and most pleasing. A memorable tale and one the reader will return to time and again.
Closet cleaning time again! I ran across several books from my brother's and my childhood...1944/1946 and this Shy Little Kitten was one of the more tattered of the books. I can remember our mother reading and rereading this among other books to us on a Sunday afternoon back in the 1940's.. This particular book was copy written in 1946 by Cathleen Schurr with beautiful illustrations by Gustaf Tenggren. It's a very simple story of a litter of five kittens, four of which are black and white and the fifth being stripped...she's the one who is shy. Several weeks after all the farm animals have brought gifts for the birth of the kittens, the mother cat decided that the kitten's first outing should be to visit the farm and thank all of the animals who visited her. They take off to the farm and, of course, the little stripper gets way-laid on several adventures, meeting several new friends. She ends up reuniting with her family at the farm and has a huge picnic with all the farm yard animals.This is a very warm story with a happy ending and the illustrations and coloring are exceptional. I haven't seen any of the newer printings of this book but I hope that they hold true to the original illustrations and story that my book has. They're a child's delight. They're still relevant even after almost 70 years.
This is an exceedingly cute book. The story itself is no great shakes: it's basically just a kitten walking around and meeting other animals, getting lost, and trying to find her way home. Nothing terribly interesting happens during her walk, and the book just kinda ends with nothing happening. It's like Seinfeld with kittens, and without the misanthropy. The real reason to get this book, and the reason to get any of the classic Golden Books, is because of Gustaf Tenggren's artwork. The art is gorgeous, and every page sparkles with life. I have never seen cuter renditions of kittens and puppies. It's a great book to just open up and look at, without reading the story.
Our 2-yr old granddaughter asked for this book and after hearing it multiple times she says "I can read it." Well, she knows the story and that's good enough. You have to love "Little Golden Books" -- they've been around for-ever!
I was invited to a baby shower and instead of buying a card to put with the gift we were asked to buy a book for the baby. I chose two Little Golden books that I had as a child and that my kids had as children because they meant so much to me. I think that was really a cute idea for a baby shower. You were to sign the book so that when he/she got older the baby would know from whom they came. You can't beat Little Golden books.
It arrived in great condition! Golden Books are a family favorite. Purchased this for my one year old niece who loves being read to. She's quiet but curious so I'm hopeful that she'll treasure it in the future.
As part of a baby gift, I gave a reader several golden books. I picked out ones that had been favorites of mine and my children. She was thrilled with that part of the gift. This was one. I think each book has a lesson that is taught in a nice, age appropriate story and encourages children to appreciate books. The golden book series is a high quality book with cute stories. I highly recommend them.
