Like Likes Like Book

Have you ever felt alone in the world while everybody else prances around "Two by two/ he and she/ curly and straight/ fancy and plain/different and same"? The little white kitten in Chris Raschka's heartwarming picture book Like Likes Like certainly has. "Unlike the rest/Unlucky, alone", the kitten is left to his own devices. He romps inrows of roses and sleeps in grass and moss until... "Look! In luck." He sees a sweet brown kitten. "Like likes like," and off they bound. "Not alone now/two together/in rows and rows/of roses." Raschka, creator of Mysterious Thelonious and the wondrous Caldecott Honour Book Yo, Yes!, has a knack for communicating emotion--and life!--with pure colour and spare, meaningful strokes. Children will adore this simple tale of love and, along with the wee kitten, they'll perk up their ears and go from downcast to joyous in a few turns of the page.--Karin Snelson, Amazon.comRead More
