Book Review: Mimi the Selfish Kitten

Posted by Kysha | 0 comments

All of my children give oral narrations on their literature and my youngest, Hip Rider, has been due to give her book review for a while now so in her 17 month old vocabulary regarding her opinion of this book when Mommy reads it…..is just “Mimi!“. Yes, “Mimi” is what she yells with excitement while attempting to jump by repeatedly standing on her tip toes whenever Mommy brings this book out to read.

This book is part of a lovely little series of books called “A Child’s First Library of Values” which can be found at any bookstore or library. Mimi, The Selfish Kitten has difficulty sharing her ball with the other kittens. Hmmm. Sounds just like Hip Rider right about now. She soon finds out that it’s no fun playing alone after all of her friends leave her because she is so selfish. In the end, she discovers that it’s more fun to share with her friends than to sit alone with her ball. There are other books in this series dealing with such things as grumpiness, friendship, naughtiness, appreciation, gratefulness and so on. The pictures are bright, bold and colorful to really catch a preschooler’s eye and keep their attention. These are great books to get the “ball” rolling on teaching a preschooler or even a pre-preschooler about values.
