Three little kittens aren't sleepy at all! One wants to jump, another wants to play, and the last wants a bite to eat. But after Mama Cat brushes their fur, gives them some milk, and sings them a lullaby, one, two, three little kittens drift off to sleep. With gentle, rhythmic verse, little ones will love to snuggle up with these soft, cozy kitties at bedtime. The book Sleepy Kittens is read aloud in a pivotal emotional scene of the animated movie Despicable Me. Our board book will include adorable fuzzy kitten finger puppets!
Done in vivid pastel hues, the illustrations reflect the text's sweet-as-spun-sugar tone (it's enough to bring a tear to the eye of even the devotedly dastardly Gru). Felt finger puppet kittens (solidly attached to the book's back cover) allow readers to become part of the action.
