Cat's Egg

Age range 3 to 6 How long does it take to hatch a kitten? Cat isn't sure, but she would rather be snacking or napping. Join her as she looks around for a babysitter for her mysterious golden egg. She seeks help from her baffled friend Dog, a crow, a koel, and a turtle, for as we all know, it takes a village to raise an egg. Aparna Karthikeyan's delightfully humorous prose is complemented by Christine Kastl's art that has an almost three-dimensional quality to it. Together, they take you on a feline adventure quite unlike any other. The book includes an unforgettable informative note for kids about companion animal care. 'Kastl's illustrations are playful and soft, giving the pages an uncluttered feel.The spatial creativity on display allows readers to see the story from the animals' perspectives ... Karthikeyan's wry text develops its feline and canine characters well.' - Kirkus Reiews
