Princess Penelope chases a runaway kitten through the palace until he finally reaches his mother. The airy double-page-spread illustrations offer a tactile experience: sparkly, magenta-colored raised yarn wraps around the kitten's belly and unravels across the pages as he scampers from room to room. Though not always fluid, the playful rhymes paired with digital illustrations heavy on the pink may win young princess fans.
