Reach for this book when your little one is navigating the frustrations of a plan gone awry or needs a gentle lesson in humility after a moment of overconfidence. This charming, vintage-inspired rhythmic tale follows Punky Dunk, a spunky kitten whose playful hunting mission takes an unexpected turn when a clever mouse outsmarts him. Through its bouncy poetry and backyard setting, the story mirrors the toddler experience of trial and error. While the kitten's 'wild' instincts are on display, the book remains incredibly soft and age-appropriate for the 2 to 6 range. It focuses on the curiosity and resilience required when things do not go as expected. Parents will appreciate how it uses a classic animal rivalry to build vocabulary and introduce the concept that even the fastest or strongest characters have something to learn from smaller, cleverer friends.
