PS
Young children can easily follow along with Kitten's brief journey. She encounters various creatures on a nature walk then returns to the warmth and safety of home. Most of the accessible rhyming text is the name of an animal plus a verb ("Hummingbird sips, / Caterpillar munches..."). Mixed-media illustrations--clay, paint, and collage--look pleasingly three-dimensional.
