Excellent Book

I enjoyed reading this to my 4 year old.. she really liked the description and names of the various kitties! My 9 year old said she loved that finally they became a large family. I think it helps kids to relate to the ideas of kindness and inclusiveness and of course, use their imagination. The language is very kid friendly, and the illustrations are beautiful! Will definitely recommend for the 4-9 age group!
