Praise for Kitty-Cam: Ready-to-Read Pre-Level 1 (Critter-Cam)

"Readers follow Kitty through a day of pouncing, eating, washing, and playing. Kitty has a pet-cam attached to its head, and readers see everything the kitten sees. . . . Short sentences on each page support first reading experiences. Repetition of single words with a clear, bold typeface supports beginning word recognition. VERDICT For the newest readers, a glimpse of the world from a kitty’s point of view."
— School Library Journal

"A handful of mostly monosyllabic words conveys a cat’s active day. Webcam on its head, the cat gets up to a variety of activities. Each spread switches from the cat’s antics on the verso to what the camera captures on the recto. . . . Yaccarino’s signature stylized illustrations manage the changes of perspective quite deftly. Spotting the gradually diminishing battery images adds more excitement. Effectively combines a novel storytelling strategy and limited vocabulary."
