Something new for the Christmas season in an adaptation of an old Polish legend for tiny tots about the Christ Child and how a little smudgy kitten finally put him to sleep. A legend better told than read, while the pages of pictures by Irene Lorentowics are turned. Reproduction in three flat colors, marginal drawings in line, full pages and double spreads in color. Folk quality to the drawings, which will make the book of immediate appeal more, perhaps, to adults than to children.
