The Kitten's Garden of Verses

"The Kitten's Garden of Verses" by Oliver Herford is a delightful treasury of poems created in the beginning of the twentieth century. Designed with young readers in mind, this lovely book dives into the fantasy-filled world of kittens and their amusing lives. With cheerful rhymes and lovely drawings, Herford perfectly shows what being a cat is all about, including how they see the world, and how they make our days better. The many poems included explore fun topics, like how a kitten sees the seasons change, how exciting the night is and how curious cats can be. Each poem cleverly uses words to paint a picture of the innocent curiosity and funny actions of kittens, showing how much they enjoy chasing mice, what they think about the moon, and how they get along with people and animals. Herford's interesting poems give us a fun view of what a kitten's life is like, making it fun to read for kids and anyone who loves charming poetry.
