Welcome to Litsy!

Everyone, meet Moxie! My new fur baby and latest addition to the #catsoflitsy fam. I had family pets growing up but she's my first solo pet as an adult. I'm so excited and love her to pieces already! 😻

I would put this in my classroom ! I think it would be good for independent reading or group reading. I would introduce it during the winter time.

A Kitten Tale by Eric Rohmann, 2008. Picture book. This book would be an easy read for children. The kittens are so adorable and the pictures are bright and fun. This book would be good to read before the winter because it talks about the cold and snow coming.

“We‘ll be right out!”

This book would be great for kids to learn about how seasons change and what it looks like over time. The book mentions how leaves are falling from the trees, and hinting at the weather becoming more cold and wet. Not after too long, the snow falls and winter begins. I think this would also be a good book for students who like or dislike winter, to become more familiar with how fun snow can be to play in.

This book is about four kittens. 3 of them hate that winter is quickly approaching while the other kitten is very excited for winter and can‘t wait for snow. Seasons are changing throughout the book which worries the kittens that snow is coming. Once the snow piles up, the excited cat runs outside to play in it. The three other kittens join the other kitten when they see how exciting playing in the snow can be.

”Snow! It‘s cold and wet and covers everything!”

I love to choices of pastel colors used in this book. Most colors are dull except for the key things each page is emphasizing. This keeps the reader focused and interested on the key concept.

The plot of this story is well conducted. The author does a great job of showing the four different seasons in a fun and exciting way for children to read. The kittens are excited to see that the snow covers everything which mimics a child's reaction to snowfall as well.

“Snow will cover everything I can‘t wait!”

It‘s so cool the one kitten doesn‘t have the same thoughts as the other 3!

There were 4 kittens who never saw snow! The first 3 kittens weren‘t so sure about it as the snow covers everything. But the 4th kitten is so excited

I like how this tale shows how people and animals have different likes and dislikes but if you don‘t try something, you won‘t know until you actually try.

This tales plot was shown one the first page of the book, adventurous. All the kittens but one do not want it to snow because of the fact it will be cold and wet. The fourth kitten can‘t wait until winter rolls along. Thought our characters, we can tell that the three kittens aren‘t open to different things but the fourth is willing for anything to come it‘s way. Genre: traditional literature; Published: 2008; Illustrator: Eric Rohmann

I love how at first the 3 kittens were all so scared but because of how excited and brave the 4th was, it encouraged the others!

I love this book and how simple it is! This book shows how even though your scared of something, you should try it! The fourth kitten in this book really was brave and helped encourage the other kittens!

“I can‘t wait!”

Cute and simple read with pictures that flow well from page to page.

Traditional literature, 2008. Four kittens who three of them do not want snow but the fourth one does. When it snows the fourth kitten goes to play and the others follow eventually. Shows how having a positive attitude can lead to fun experiences.

The use of both pages in this books makes the illustrations pop more.

This story is about 3 cats that don‘t want winter to come and 1 cat that does.

“But the fourth kitten didn‘t hide.” This kitten was excited about the new site and experience.

This is a simple book about how to have fun and not be afraid of what you haven‘t yet experienced. There is a lesson in this short story. We should be excited for new experiences rather than fearful because we may turn out to really enjoy them.

This book was written and illustrated by Eric Rohmann. It was published by Alfred A. Knope in 2008. The illustrations go along perfectly with this story. I love Rohmann‘s use of simple, pastel colors in this story. It is about three kittens being scared of the thought of snow throughout every season except for one kitten. When the snow finally comes that one kitten teaches them how to have fun and not be afraid of the snow.

“I can‘t wait!”
A simple phrase, but intriguing to the other kittens .. the fourth kitten would and could not be afraid of the snow!

I love this photo! No words, just emotion and warmth!

Published in 2008, this is a story of kittens and their fascination and also fear of snow! I think this story is adorable and fun, however, i‘m not sure if it will be a lasting book go children. I think it would be a lovely book to read, but I don‘t know how much a child would be prone to pick it up. However, the illustrations were beautiful! The use of line, color, and value truly brought the book alive.

Loved the different colors of the cats!

The outline of the kittens in the book really draws your eye into the illustration. The book was sweet and clever. I also really liked the outline of each page in thick black. The book contains very defined illustrations and pictures.

Sebastian just had his first vet visit today, and he did very well! The back story: he has been hanging out in my backyard the last few weeks. I learned from my neighbors that he has also frequented their yards. I thought he belonged to a household about a block away from me; they moved out after Thanksgiving, leaving not only him but their adult cats too. So sad, but he wandered into the right yard! #SebastianKitty #catsoflitsy

Not necessarily book related, but I‘ve taken in a potential new reading buddy. He gets his first vet visit next week, where I can make sure he is nice and healthy. Cross fingers all goes well! More details next week! #catsoflitsy

😻🤦‍♀️

I forgot to update my Litten friends! We were able to find homes for both kittens AND their momma this past week. I'm so glad these babes have good homes. 🐱 #adoptdontshop

I know when this book came out it was a big deal, but I don‘t see why. It‘s cute, yes, but not really special. Not something that speaks to me. It's about kittens being doomsayers about the coming snowfall (3 seasons away). And learning not to be scared of the unknown. I guess I was just expecting something WOW, and got something okay. #beatthebacklist #hermione 2017
