Kittensby Grace Elora
Bright adorable photographs will grab children's attention. We will note however that the text seems more difficult than a .09 designation to us. However all sources agree on 0.9. Sample text from two pages follows so you can judge yourself.
Kittens cannot see at first.Reading Information:

Apparently two different versions of this book are in print: one illustrated, one with photos.
