FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Pinkney, Jerry

Three Little Kittens

(3) PS In this classic nursery rhyme, a mother cat threatens her three careless kittens with the loss of pie-eating privileges if they don't find their mittens. Cannily playing up the story's fundamental frivolity, Pinkney beribbons (and ultimately bemittens) the kittens and puts "mother dear" in bows. Young readers will get wrapped up in the light, relatable-to-kids dramatics.
