Ten short couplets reflect a kitten's observations about mother-baby interactions on a farm at springtime. The text is swift and engaging: "Morning hums, / Kitten listens. / Frog croaks, / tadpole glistens." At day's end, "Evening whispers, / Moonlight beams. / Door opens, / Kitten dreams." Colorful mixed-media illustrations reflect the tone and tenor of the text, with glimpses of Kitten tucked into each double-page spread.
