The 3 Little Kittens

"The 3 Little Kittens" by Anonymous is an enchanting poem from the late 1800s about the everyday adventures of three kittens. It tells the story of kittens who lose their mittens, find them, get them dirty eating pie, and then wash them so they can attend both a feast and a ball. The kittens eventually find love, and that love culminates with a wedding filled with joy and celebration; finally, the three kittens begin a new life together in a warm home. The poem employs playful language and rhythm, exploring themes of playfulness, accountability, and celebration.
