About the Author

CATHLEEN SCHURR (1916-2003) was the author of one of the bestselling Little Golden Books of all time, The Shy Little Kitten.

GUSTAF TENGGREN (1896–1970) was a well-known illustrator in his native Sweden before immigrating to the United States in 1920. He illustrated many Golden Books, beginning with The Poky Little Puppy. One of the original twelve Little Golden Books published in 1942, The Poky Little Puppy went on to become the bestselling picture book of all time. Other iconic Little Golden Books illustrated by Tenggren include The Saggy Baggy Elephant, The Shy Little Kitten, and Tawny Scrawny Lion. In the late 1930s, Tenggren worked for the Disney Studio, providing concept artwork (created to inspire and guide animators) for various characters and scenes in Bambi, The Old Mill, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Fantasia.

This was a favorite story that I enjoyed as a child, and the book was also enjoyed by my own children and grandchild. Now, I' ve purchased a new copy as a gift for a first-grader friend (along with a plush kitty to cuddle). I think she'll love it, too!

I bought this book because it’s a featured on the back of some of our other gold storybooks and my daughter kept wanting to read this one. I thought it would help her over coming her shyness that she’s started to develop around one and a half years old… the book doesn’t really conquer the problem of shyness, per se. However, my daughter does really enjoy when we read it. The book and it’s words seem a little dated as it was written a long time ago. But again my daughter is now two still really enjoyed this book more so than me.

We love golden books and we love cats so thought it would be a good choice but it’s pretty boring for a toddler.
