My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My daughter's pick for her special advent book as it came with a kitten plush. What they don't tell you is that this is sort of an Elf on the Shelf in disguise idea.... read this story early in December when "kitty" is supposed to show up at the house to keep track of how naughty or nice the children are. The cat is then supposed to disappear on Christmas Eve with Santa only to return again the next year. Yeah.... don't think that's happening. She'll either get tucked in with the Christmas ornaments or just stay with the rest of the stuffed animals. The second is more likely since said cat also comes with a bell attached, making it difficult to move her without hearing it. The story itself is cute, and the art is pretty. It's simple and pretty straight forward, which is good for kids. I guess at least it's a stuffed cat and not a lure to actually adopt a kitten, which is what I was slightly afraid of at the start of the book when it says the cat will come to live with the children. Well, okay then. We already have two cats; that's enough.
