Christmas Kitten

A touch-and-feel book

Illustrated by Lucy Barnard
Look inside
Gentle rhyming text and touch-and-feel textures make this the perfect way for toddlers to experience with Kitten the magic and joy of Christmas.

It's Christmas Eve, and everyone is getting ready. Kitten is cuddled up next to the fireplace with Mouse. A happy snowman watches for Santa. Finally, Santa's sleigh sails through the sky with the help of his reindeer, and Santa leaves presents for everyone under the tree. Simple rhyming text, bold and colorful artwork, and touch-and-feel textures on each spread make this a fun, interactive Christmas book for toddlers.
Rosie Adams lives in Lancashire, England, with three dogs and a goldfish named Bert. She loves to write stories about animals and nature. In her spare time, she likes painting, traveling, and taking long walks in the countryside. 

Lucy Barnard is from Cheltenham but now lives in Manchester with her husband and two children. After completing her art foundation course in Cheltenham and her illustration degree in Exeter, she worked at various publishing companies in London before becoming a freelance illustrator. She worked for many years with acrylic paint and pencils but has adapted her illustration style and now works digitally. As well as illustrating for others, she also writes and illustrates her own stories, quite often inspired by her children!
