The Shy Little Kitten - Book

The Shy Little Kitten was written by Cathleen Schurr and illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren, the artist behind The Poky Little Puppy. It was first published in 1946 and is considered one of the most iconic of all the Little Golden Books.

Shy as she is, the kitten runs off with strangers without permission, and she even laughs at an injured friend, so the story has gentle lessons to talk over with young listeners. It is all told with Tenggren's soft, richly detailed animal paintings. It comes in the familiar hardcover Little Golden Book format, a classic for preschool story time and bedtime reading.
