Synopsis: When Spike and Ike take a hike, they meet lots of sassy creatures along the way, including an itty bitty kitty. But wait . . . this itty bitty pretty kitty turns out to be an itty bitty pretty spitty kitty! Other funny encounters include frogs in a soggy bog and a giraffe calf that makes them laugh.
Review: Aimed at kids ages 3-5, Miss Grace never the less enjoyed this book, as it was a good book for HER to read out loud, with the rhyming and alliteration helping her along with words she did not know. Once she caught on how the story was progressing with Spike, the hedgehog, and Ike, the coatimundi (which we had to look up on mom's phone, on the internet, as she didn't know what that was!), she was quite eager to turn the pages! She loved finding additional items in the illustrations and adding them to the story as well! .
This is a cute little book and one that would be perfect for Summer reading!
