Caldecott Medalist Eric Rohmann's classic tale of four skittish kittens through the four seasons comes to paperback.

Four kittens have never seen the snow. The first three kittens are wary--snow is cold, it's wet, it covers everything. This unknown thing called snow is a little bit. . . scary. As the seasons pass and winter begins to loom, the three skittish kittens worry. But the fourth kitten takes a different view. The fourth kitten is getting excited. Snow will cover everything?! ""I can't wait!""

Caldecott Medal winner Eric Rohmann gives us a charming, gentle story that both respectfully acknowledges a child's fear of the unknown and celebrates the power of a positive outlook. Deceptively simple and quietly profound.

Reviews for A Kitten Tale

Starred review, Publishers Weekly, November 26, 2007: While this title has broad appeal, it is an especially apt choice for children who approach the unknown with fear rather than pleasure. Starred review, Kirkus Reviews, December 1, 2007: A winner for a winter storytime, this is as amusing as watching real kittens romp. Starred review, School Library Journal, February 2008: This playful look at living life to the fullest is a natural for young children.
