How I Found My Monster Kittens [The New Three Little Kittens] Good read for ages 2-8. By Olexity Starr What a cute, funny story tale with some rhyming connections, its colorful simple yet interesting enough to keep a child listening. The monster kittens are not really monsters looking, but cute - that went outside to play alone without letting the boy in the story know. There is a good lesson to learn not to go out doors or anywhere without informing someone an adult, friend, or neighbor.  A good quick read for younger children.
