How to Love a Kitten
by Michelle Meadows (Author), Sawyer Cloud (Illustrator)
Review by sweetiegherkin
The family from How to Love a Pony is back, and this time they discover a family of cats under their porch!
Told in rhyming text, the story is set from the point of view of the unnamed narrator -- the little girl of the family. As the families tries to do the right thing and look for the owners of the lost mother cat, they -- and we alongside them -- get to see the little kittens frolic, play, and grow.
As with the previous title, the illustrations are lovely -- warm and comforting, full of little details to keep noticing on each read through. The multigenerational family is Black and they interact with a white family in this book, so there's plenty of diversity.

First sentence: On the farm, we run and play. I kick the ball. It rolls away. Under the porch, I bend down low. No ball in sight. Where did it go? A broken toy. A silver pail. Then something moves. Is that a tail? I call out, "Hey--Look what I found! Four kittens and a cat curled around."
Premise/plot: A young girl [and her family] finds a mama cat with new kittens. The family "rescue" her and help care for the mama cat and all the kittens. They are hopeful that they will find the owner of the mama cat since she has a collar and is super-friendly (as opposed to feral). Will all the cats find homes?
My thoughts: This is an enjoyable beginning reader. This is an "I Can Read It All By Myself" beginning book. It stars plenty of ADORABLE, SWEET, LOVABLE kitties. This would be a good fit for anyone who enjoys cat or kitten stories.
