About this title

Review:

The topsy-turvy commotion the kitten causes in each location is sure to provoke some giggles. ... [Y]oungsters will be drawn to the glitter like iron filings to a magnet.
--Kirkus Reviews

[T]he verse has a lively meter... Featuring plenty of pink (in backdrops, as well as Penelope's flouncy skirt and polka-dot boots), the digital art has a matte finish, which lets the glittery yarn pop. And the rambunctious kitten's scurrying--she navigates a maze of bushes and climbs onto a horse's mane--leaves a zigzag of yarn for children to trace.
--Publishers Weekly

Rhymed couplets and large font will aid those children who may be just beginning to read. ... [M]any children will be tickled pink with Princess Penelope's fuschia tutu and polka-dot boots to match.
--School Library Journal
