Runaway Kitten — Carla Dijs

Baby kittens are extremely playful and love to frolic. Here, a kitten disobeys mum and dad's rules by jumping on the table. She breaks a vase and spends the rest of the afternoon in her basket. Her accident got her into trouble, and she must pay the consequences. She wishes she could run far, far away where her parents could never find her. In her anger, baby kitten imagines hiding in the mountains, on a desert island, and even in the jungle. Even though she wishes to disappear, she comes to realize she could never survive without love and help from her parents. Kitten resolves her problem by learning the importance of being sorry. She apologizes to her parents, and she also learns a valuable lesson. This lift-the-flap book is full of surprises and a fun way of teaching the significance of apologizing.
