 Thank You to Netgalley, author, and publisher for sending me a digital e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

 

 The cover is cute and eye-catching. The text's rhymes and sounds are simple to follow and understand, and they add a pleasant tone to the reading experience. The artwork is realistic, charming, well-done, and sometimes appears three-dimensional. The author does a wonderful job discussing and demonstrating everyday cat activities. I enjoyed how the author based the novel on her three city cats. I see some nice learning opportunities and topics in this book, including crafts (draw or create your own city cat), cat behavior, and city life. My only concern was that I wished the book had been longer so that readers could see and bond more with the three cats, Nori, Yeti, and Flo. Ashley Barron's Three City Kitties is a quick, delightful read with colorful drawings and an easy-to-follow plot that children will appreciate.
