K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Susan Kathleen Hartung.
Mittens the kitten hears something digging behind the backyard fence. He digs, too, until he encounters a friendly dog. The large print, repetition, and limited vocabulary are geared to the youngest readers, who'll likely keep going to see who's waiting beyond the fence. The uncluttered illustrations avoid monotony by showing Mittens from a variety of angles.
