The Littlest Christmas Kitten is a very special picture book retelling the Nativity story where youngsters can feel the restless anticipation of the animals and the worried concerns of mother cat for her little lost kitten. The lost is found in the midst of a miracle on a special night when Jesus is born and the first Christmas occurs. Kelly Dupre’s superb artwork wonderfully enhances Leona’s original and entertaining story.
Young children are naturally drawn to baby kittens and will be eager to follow the cat’s escapades in the stable. At the same time, they are learning about Christ’s birth. As a mother cares deeply for her kittens, so does Christ care for us. The story ends with historical connections and helpful descriptions of Christmas symbols found following the text.
REVIEW: Midwest Book Review says: “The Littlest Christmas Kitten” is a very special picture book retelling the Nativity story where youngsters ages 3 through 7 can feel the restless anticipation of the animals and the worried concerns of mother cat for her little lost kitten. The lost is found in the midst of a miracle on a special night when Jesus is born and the first Christmas occurs. Kelly Dupre’s superb artwork wonderfully enhanced Leona Novy Jackson’s original and entertaining story about the love and care mothers have for their little ones - and the birth of the Baby Jesus. Enhanced for young readers with a short word list about Christmas, “The Littlest Christmas Kitten” is wholeheartedly recommended for parents wanting something seasonal to read to their children, and for any community library’s Christmas picture book collection!”
