Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
This is a sweet book about a naughty little kitten named Mitten who is always trying to play tricks on a much more mature Siamese cat named Nessie. Nessie is 100-years old with beautiful blue eyes. She's travelled the world, and has many stories to tell! Baffled, Mitten cannot understand why she doesn't fall for his shenanigans, after all he is the neighbourhood prankster, but for the life of him he cannot catch Nessie in one of his antics.
When he asks her why she calmly licks her paws looks Mitten straight in the eyes and responds... because she's "been there, done that!'
The narrative flows in rhyme and the illustrations are fantastic. Kids will learn a valuable life lesson. An old Greek proverb sums it up perfectly... "age brings experience, and a good mind wisdom". Nessie therefore is way ahead of Mitten's tricks so everything he tries is uneventful towards her as she has seen it and done it all.
She goes on and encourages Mitten to use each of his nine lives to the utmost. She tells him stories of her past life adventures and invites him along when her next exciting adventure unfolds. I love the book and highly recommend it.
