Kit & Kaboodle by Rosemary Wells - ESSENTIAL

Kit & Kaboodle by Rosemary Wells PICTURE BOOK (K-3) Godwin Books (Henry Holt and Company), 2018. $18.  978-1250130754

BUYING ADVISORY - EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL - HIGH

This is a collection of stories featuring Kit and Kaboodle (two very good kittens) and a naughty mouse named Spinka. "Sock Mischief" is about Spinka diverting (and shrinking) the kittens socks; in "Baseball Mischief" Spinka is angry that she wasn't invited to the family baseball game, and plays a mean trick on Dad; in "Bath Mischief" Spinka gets the kittens in trouble by adding more bubbles to their bath. 

So characteristic of Rosemary Wells stories, this simple collection is illustrated with large pictures, simple text and a fun (albeit predictable) story that is sure to be a bedtime favorite. 3 stories in one book! Wonderful!
