Adorable. Preschooler loved this! ( )

The super-cute Long Tail Kitty shows off his hometown and introduces his friends in 5 short stories. I loved the illustrations just as much as Long Tail Kitty's sweet personality. My cat, who also has a really long tail, also enjoyed (sitting on) the book. ( )

Five tales of varied length about a cat and his adventures. He is friends with a bee, a mouse, and aliens. He helps the bee find his stinger, buys groceries with his friends, and describes where he lives. Small print would make this book hard to read aloud but children old enough to read on their own wouldn't be interested in stories with no plots. For readers ages 4-6.

This book is cutesy, but it shows such a spirit of joy and sense of adventure. I'm no little kid, but I think the exploratory wonder of it would be especially agreeable to the kidly sensibility. And even for me, at the end of a hard day, thinking of "Good Tall Mouse" raises the spirits. ( )
