So this was a pretty cute read. It's a short cat tale featuring three darling kittens and all the city sights they see from their panoramic apartment windows.

The only thing I didn't love was an image in the middle of a page where a dog owner let their dog "go" right by the cats' apartment. That was a gross and irresponsible thing for a pet owner to do, and wasn't necessary for this story.

Other than that, this book was nice and had some great artwork. The cover was the cutest, and so colorful.

I received a complimentary e-book from Owlkids Books to review through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are my own.

There’s not much this story. It’s three kittens stuck in a house in a major city. What they do for their day. The artwork however, is a combination of drawn and painted paper layered over each other. The artwork is quite nice and makes up the lack of story.

A nice children's picture book......showing a view from the 3 kitties' point of view. Very brightly colored, pretty drawings of what the kitties see & do. I think kids would appreciate this book, & I might guess they'd want to repeat this read frequently....as kids do when they like a book!
I received a digital copy of the book from publisher Owlkids Books via NetGalley, in order to read it & post my own fair/honest review.

A quick and easy little story about 3 kitties who live in the city. The illustrations are very detailed and follow along with the story nicely. My son loves our cats and so I thought he would enjoy this book.
While he did enjoy it. It was a bit basic for him. I think this would be geared more to the toddlers/prek ages rather than the school age kids.
I received a ARC of this title, all opinions are my own

This is a cute short story about 3 cats who live in the city and what they do during the day. I think a child who has cats and lives in the city themselves would enjoy this book. The illustrations are cute and provide a lot of detail of what the city as well as the inside of a home look like.

This is a fun picture book that children will love to read. My library will definitely be buying this book. I can't wait to see children love it as much as I did!

Three City Kitties is an adorable, rhyming story that details the lives of three cats living in the city. The text is wonderful, but the real appeal of this book is the illustrations! The collage style of art is wonderful and a perfect match for the book. Definitely one students will enjoy!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This book will be a joy to sit and discuss the illustrations. Finding the cats when they hide, and noticing what the cats notice will make this a fun and engaging read. I love books that can relate to real events, and this book has many silly moments to talk to children about things they've seen, particularly if they have cats.

A very sweet book! We follow three city kitties as they have indoor adventures and look out at the city sidewalk. I really liked the art in this one. Definitely felt unique. The rhyming also felt very natural which I enjoyed. Cute!

Highly recommended. This is adorable.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Owlkids Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

What a sweet book that could be used for a kitty themed storytime. The illustrations are beautiful!
Everytime I go to San Francisco and see cats through the window, I often wonder about their city lives.

Adorable easy read stories for very young children. Illustrations are wonderful. Preschool age children will really love it. If you’re a teacher, it will keep your classroom engaged. Sorry, about three kitties in an apartment viewing the big city and interacting in their apartment. Happy story about animals. I

A simply delightful tale of city kitties doing what kitties do best! Told through bright and engaging illustrations, we hang out with beautiful Nori, Yeti, and Flo as they do all their favorite things, from sunning to post-food zoomies.

This is sure to be a hit for all the littles who love their cats.

(Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.)

*Squid Choice* I can honestly say my nephew was not impressed with this one. He said it was okay but he didn't want to read it again.

Personally, I feel this one might be okay for the 1-2 age group (Squid is 3). There was no real story and the artwork is not anything spectacular.

Cute book about cats! The illustrations were fun, but the story was pretty simple. Would definitely appeal to the younger readers more so than older kiddos.

Izzy age 9 loves this book! She loves that it’s a book about her favorite subject cats. It’ describes the things real cats do like playing in boxes and climbing up
to high places to observe. The pictures are beautiful and attractive to the young reader. Overall this is a great book for young readers and anyone that loves cats.

This is a really cute kids picture book following 3 cats living in a city apartment, in only a way a cat would. It's nice quick but fun read, that has colourful illustrations. This is perfect for parents, who have cats as fur babies as well.
