The Littlest Christmas Kitten Leona Novy Jackson Snaptail Press ISBN: 0-930643-18-6 Children’s Picture Book Reviewed by Mayra Calvani

“On the holiest of night long, long ago, the animals in the stable were restless.” Thus begins this engaging Christmas picture book that will capture the imagination of young children.

The Littlest Christmas Kitten tells the story of a mother cat who is frantically searching for her little kitten in a very special stable, the stable where Baby Jesus is born. But where could the kitten be possibly hiding?

The illustrations, with their earthly colors, are interesting and original and capture the setting and the “essence” of the story well. The language evokes a warm feeling of serenity and peaceful beauty very appropriate for “the holiest of nights.” At the end there’s an illustrated glossary of Christmas symbols related to the kitten’s tale.

This is a book that both teaches and delights, and that will make a lovely gift for a young child.
