Abby Lau Fook-yi’s top pick: Itty Bitty Princess Kitty: Star Showers
- The six-year-old student from Christ Church Kindergarten tells us all about her favourite book, written by Melody Mews
I want to discuss the book Itty Bitty Princess Kitty: Star Showers by Melody Mews. It is about a cat named Itty who loses her tiara. She searches for it far and wide but cannot find it.
One day, she is told there will be a star shower. If you can catch a star, you can have a wish. So she wants to get a star so she can wish for her tiara back.
At first, Itty feels sad because she cannot find any stars. But then she sees a glimmer of light coming towards her. It is a shooting star! She catches it and shows it to her friends.
They all make wishes on the star and release it back into the sky. But then, there is a sudden strong wind, and all the stars swirl together and are left in a tangled ball of light. The next day, Itty wakes up to find she has a super long tail! Everyone’s wishes got mixed up. No one was happy about it. But then Itty has a brilliant idea: she was actually born with a shooting star, so she uses it to make everyone’s original wishes come true.
I think Itty is very kind and cares a lot about her friends. I want to learn from her and be helpful to others.
