Kitty's ABC Shape Book is a reproduction of an 1890 book that features cats and kittens in an alphabetic parade of charming adventures. This eccentric tale of a beautiful "A for Angora'' cat, who overcomes jealousy and buckets of water to find love and happiness, is beautifully illustrated. The cats in this story play banjos, get married, and sing in choirs, among other whimsical activities. The tender love story is highlighted with verses such as: "T stands for Trouble now over and past, and The Triumph of True Tender hearts at The Last", and "V is the Vanity Fluffy displays, When on a Visit her kittens you praise." This die-cut, shaped book displays the Victorians' love of cats through delightful rhyming prose and playful, lively illustrations. This is a unique, unforgettable ABC book for older children, as well as for adult Victorian-era-enthusiasts and cat lovers. It's sure to delight readers of all ages.

Picture book reviews, building a collection, using picture books with various age groups, and issues such as multicultural literature, classics, and controversial titles are some of the other topics covered.
