About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels unfairly blamed for a mess or when 'accidents' seem to follow them despite their best intentions. It is a perfect choice for kids who are learning to navigate house rules but still find themselves in the middle of chaos. Through three charming short stories, Rosemary Wells introduces Kit and Kaboodle, two polite Siamese kittens who are constantly framed for mischief by a sneaky, red-capped mouse named Spinka. While the kittens are the ones who get the lectures from the grown-ups, the reader gets to see the 'truth' of the situation. This creates a wonderful opportunity for parents to discuss fairness, the difference between intentional trouble and accidents, and how to stay calm when things go wrong. It is ideal for ages 4 to 7, offering a lighthearted way to process the frustration of being misunderstood or accused.
