  I read this and loved it; then bought a kindle gift copy for my niece that I like to call Little 2%. She loves Mow mows and these illustrations and the rhymes were wonderful.

  This was a sweet story about a kitten who procrastinates and doesn't listen to her mother. Children will enjoy the kitten's antics and the soothing, pastel artwork while adults will relate to the mischievous kitten.

  Now that Harriet can read she is taking a more active role in choosing her library books. She is returning to old favorite authors, like Bill Martin Jr. A recent find of his is Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Waking Up?
  
  This book explores the morning routine of a young kitten as he gets ready for school. Parents and school aged children will recognize the speed bumps in the routine: it's hard to get up, it's hard to pick out the right outfit, food is more fun to play with than eat, and so forth.
  
  Bill Martin Jr. has a knack with rhythms and making a short list of easy to read words fun to read. His poetry is also memorable. The combination of phonetically easy words and memorable lines made for a hit with Harriet. She read the book about a dozen times before we had to return it to the library. Weeks later she is still quoting from it.

  First sentence: Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, are you waking up? Not yet, Mother, I'm a sleepy buttercup.
  
  Premise/plot: Does this kitty cat have a hard time getting up out of bed and getting ready for school? Oh, yes! One of the reasons why this book may just be so easy to relate to for both children and adults.
  
  My thoughts: Loved it. I think I liked it much more than Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Going To Sleep. I enjoyed the rhymes very much. My favorite:
  
  Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, are you out of bed?
  Not yet, Mother, I'm standing on my head.
  
  And the illustrations are just so very, very sweet and precious.

  This is the cutest rhyming story with a loveable kitty cat. She wants to play. She's looking for her clothes but where is her mouse friend? Where is she going in such a happy mood?
  This would be a wonderful story to read to a young child at bedtime. The lovely illustrations and rhyming story helps to relay a happy all over feeling of this book.
  I borrowed this book on a website for Kindle Unlimited Books and so can you.

  Very Sweet Book
  
  I bought this book for my 3 year old niece who lives so very far away. I wanted to give her a fun book about a kitty and this was the one I chose. I am glad I did. The pictures were well done and fun looking and the story sweet and something a 3yr old can appreciate.

  A favorite
  
  The rhymes amd repetition in this story make this a favorite for my 2.5 year old. She likes that she can figure out the words and pretend that she is reading it herself.

  Love it!!!!!!!
  
  I would highly recommend this book. This book is easy to follow. It is easy to read and it rhymes too. It has sight words that your child has had and can relate too.

  Short and cute rhyming book. The illustrations are what make this book with the soft color tones used. The easy rhyming structure and length of book make it perfect for toddlers. Well worth checking out. I found this on kindle unlimited and have given a full review on my blog.

  Kitty Cat just doesn't like mornings. Poor mommy cat has to nudge her to wake up, eat her breakfast, get dressed and pretty much everything else that needs to happen. I'm not at this stage yet, but I imagine lots of parents can relate. Fun rhymes for the cat lover.

  Purr-fect prose
  
  Sweet, well-illustrated and an easy favorite that's frequently requested. Simple, repetitive lines make it easy for children to memorize and recite. A must for any e-library.

  Cute little cat story
  
  A quick and cute read for the little one about getting ready for school in the morning. Nice bedtime book with well drawn pictures for Pre-K/kindergartner.

  So cute
  
  Love all the rhyming! My girls really liked it. They are 3 and 4 years old. I am sure we will read many more times.

  Sweet Bedtime Story
  
  For very small children. An excellent book to open or close a naptime or nighttime story session. Soft watercolor images are a bit saccharine but cute.

  So cute
  
  My granddaughter will love the pictures because she loves cats. The story is funny because children get into these fixes and adults need reminding of the adorableness.

  Great
  
  Bill Martin Jr is always a win! My 6 year old read this independently and loved how she was just like the kitty cat...always getting distracted. Super cute read.

  This book is fine, but I wasn't crazy about it. As cats go, it's weird to basically make this character a human child who looks like a cat. Not a storytime contender.

  Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat - what a fun read!
  
  Beautiful illustrations and lyrical rhymes. Children will recognize the actions of kitty as she playfully gets ready to begin her day.
