Description

When a curious kitten encounters its young owner's string ball craft project, an amazing adventure ensues! The kitten squeezes inside the ball and begins to roll . . . right out the open front door. Yikes! Kitten and ball encounter playful pups, pecking birds, a baby in a carriage, and one very slippery slide. Whee!

In the tradition of Kitten's First Full Moon and Spot, the Cat, author-illustrator Chris Monroe takes readers on a journey they won't soon forget in this nearly wordless picture book.
