About this book
Little Kitten is exploring outside but needs your help to keep safe.
When it gets caught in the rain or scared by a wiggly worm, the reader is invited to stroke its soft back, tickle it under its chin, rub its paw better, and finally, once it’s safely back in bed, give its fluffy tummy a tickle!
This sweet board book encourages empathy as young readers use gentle hands to look after the irresistibly cute kitten.
The illustrations are colourful and welcoming, and the various interactive textures feel soft and are made to a high quality.
