Clover Kitty Goes to Kittygarten

“Young readers will identify with Clover’s feelings about starting school or any new adventure…The watercolor illustrations have soft, inviting colors. A perfect story to share at the beginning of the school year.” —School Library Journal “Salas shapes a read-aloud that will spark conversation with first-timers who are sensitive to stimulus, while Nakata humorously conveys the resolute feline’s emotions in expressive watercolor images.” —Publishers Weekly “Sweet and soft watercolor illustrations show clothed kittens going through a typical (human) school day, with plenty of details and scenarios for young children to relate to. Clover’s experiences and school ‘armor’ helpfully explain the ups and downs of the first day of school or of going to school for the first time. A reassuring read to ward off the jitters.” —Booklist
