An ideal introduction to the natural world for small children. It's fun to explore a place that's new as kitten discovers when her good friend dog takes her on a tour of the garden and the world outside it, meeting on the way birds, a bumblebee, mice, a centipede, a lizard and a frog. Small children who are just beginning to explore their own worlds will empathise with kitten as she discovers the magic of the world all around her.
