Kitten Can is a sequence of colour photographs showing the things a tortoiseshell kitten can do: things like 'scratch', 'step', 'sniff', 'hide', 'dig' and so on. This book, a companion volume to Here a Chick, There a Chick is designed to help young children broaden their understanding of the various action verbs used but can also be enjoyed by beginner readers and all cat lovers.

Guinea Pigs Don't Read books is the arresting title of another book of colour photographs, this time of a favourite domestic pet which we are shown can come in many shapes and colours. An unusual way of introducing young readers to the habits of this small mammal.
