What do our readers think of That's Not My Kitten? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children enjoy touching the different patches, spotting the mouse and joining in with the repeated words, especially when they can compare the kitten with a real pet. Some children find that a few of the textured areas are small or feel too similar, but the sturdy pages and friendly kittens keep the book appealing.

A purr-fectly sturdy addition to these touch-and-feel books, with five friendly kittens, simple repeated text and the trademark little white mouse to spot on every page.
