This is the board book featured in
my post about the baby's shocked expression! It's a real appealing book with bold pictures of cats in various activities. Begins by saying
Busy, busy kitties. What are they doing? and continues with simple captions that rhyme across each spread of pictures:
Kitty strolling, kitty rolling / Kitty hissing, kitties kissing...etc. All the pictures are really cute or expressive, and show cats doing cat things- sprawl in the sun, drink from a dripping faucet, cry insistently for noms. My baby likes this book especially, whether because she recognizes cat faces (we have two) or recognizes me talking about them, I'm not sure.
Busy Kitties is part of a series, all in the same format, all featuring animals. We've brought home from the library at various times
Busy Birdies, Busy Bear Cubs and
Busy Elephants. My daughter liked the birds okay, the bear cubs and elephants not at all. Her favorite is the cats. There's lots of other books in the series, featuring penguins, dogs, pigs, chickens, barnyard animals, horses, etc. I'm sure to find some others that she'll like!
