The Shy Little Kitten stars in her first Step into Reading book! This Step 1 Step into Reading title has been adapted from the original Little Golden Book story The Shy Little Kitten, by Cathleen Schurr, for children just learning to read. Freshly illustrated in the style of the original book brought to life by Gustaf Tenggren, this simple, sweet story about a shy kitten and the colorful friends she makes at a picnic is the perfect addition to the Step into Reading line.
