5.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate for 5-8 year olds

I thought this book was delightful. It’s another book about Chill, the kitten. Chill has adventures with water in this one.

Descriptions are very good; the author is visually impaired and the descriptions are detailed, but not about color, etc. Thiis story could be read aloud and even without pictures a child could easily follow it.

My 5 yo niece and I enjoy the Chill stories and are definitely fans. I can’t wait to read this one to her!

Recommended for ages 5-8, though 5 yos are likely to need to have the story read to them.

Definitely, playing in the rain is much nicer when your loved ones are beside you. This book is about preventing your playful kitten or cat from going outside and getting lost. They may enjoy it at first, but we know it's very dangerous.
