Jack the Kitten is a Big Hit Over at Maple Leaf Mommy!


My daughter LOVES this book. Both of the girls got piles of books for Christmas, including ones that G-Girl had the excitement of picking out herself after family members gave us gift cards. So there are tons of new books in the house right now. But the one book that my daughter is fixated on is Jack the Kitten is Very Brave.

My son is an avid lover of books, and when he saw this book come in the mail he immediately wanted to read it. We have two cats and my kids are such huge animal lovers that Jack the Kitten is Very Brave was a huge hit. Not to mention that my son loves to pretend he’s a pirate like Jack! The book is quite a bit longer than I was expecting! It’s really a long story but a good one. Each page has beautiful kid-friendly illustrations- I really loved reading it!
