Link to ebook:
This is a children's book with kittens and cats from the early 1900s primarily read in schools. The kittens and cats are going to the queen's party and there are many little poems and mother goose rhymes to describe all of the characters. The fun part about this book is not the poems, but the photos of all the characters, the kittens and cats all dressed up! I would say the book is definitely outdated, but it gives a glimpse into the past with the kitten with the dunce hat and the wealthy cat that is the only owner of an automobile in the country. I'm just not sure if it would hold the attention of children nowadays.
I liked this little disclaimer from a word to the teacher:
"In one respect kittens take precedence over dolls. They are alive. They must be treated kindly. They will not bear the abuse and neglect given to many beautiful dolls. They demand attention and companionship, and they return a real devotion for kindness and care. Therefore we love them, and especially do our children love them and delight in stories or pictures of them."
