Four Hungry Kittens

A parent might reach for this book when their young child is beginning to test boundaries and show a desire for independence. This gentle, wordless story allows for a safe exploration of that feeling. It follows four kittens who venture out of their cozy basket while their mother is away. Their small journey is filled with curiosity, minor challenges, and the discovery of the world just outside their home. The story beautifully captures the balance between the thrill of adventure and the deep comfort of returning to a parent's loving care. It's an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers, as the watercolor illustrations clearly convey the narrative and emotions, empowering pre-readers to tell the story themselves.
