Katie the Kitten

Description

Back in print after more than 60 years, a heartwarming tale for today's kitten-loving kids--from the author of the iconic Little Golden Books Tawny Scrawny Lion and The Saggy Baggy Elephant! First published in 1949--and now finally back in print--this charming story about a kitten beginning to make her way around the house will become a family favorite. Breathtaking artwork by Alice and Martin Provensen, who also illustrated The Color Kittens, has been digitally restored for this edition.

KATHRYN JACKSON penned hundreds of lively, witty stories for Golden Books, most of which she cowrote with her husband, Byron. The Saggy Baggy Elephant is one of the pair's most famous titles. Golden Books that Kathryn Jackson wrote on her own include Tawny Scrawny Lion, Nurse Nancy, Pantaloon, and Richard Scarry's A Story a Day- 365 Stories and Rhymes. ALICE AND MARTIN PROVENSEN began to illustrate children's books together in 1946, many of them for Golden Books- The Fuzzy Duckling, Tales from the Ballet, The Golden Book of Fun and Nonsense, The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends, The Iliad and the Odyssey, and The Color Kittens, one of the most beloved Golden Books ever. The Provensens won the Caldecott Medal in 1984 for The Glorious Flight, which they also wrote.
