In their second outing, after This Little Kitty (2023), the kitty siblings go out into the yard to "help" their humans with spring planting (and, of course, play). "This little kitty / fetches from the cart: / tools, hats, gloves, / and a helpful grower's chart." One cat sneezes after investigating the flowers. The kitties watch bees and butterflies and playfully poke a caterpillar (well, it looks like a cat toy). They're startled by a bunny and then get down to some digging. Occasional napping might occur as the kitties' humans start planting. One cat helps with the vines (again…looks like a cat toy), and water is always interesting (until you get wet). "Whew! Everything is planted. / Another spring success! / Oh dear, kitties. / We've made quite the mess!" While the humans clean up, the grubby felines…snooze in the garden bed. Obuhanych's follow-up to her authorial debut has just as much cattitude as the first. With loads of feline charm, the cut-paper, charcoal, and colored-pencil illustrations communicate each cat's personality, from the one-eyed tuxedo cat to the grumpy, gray Scottish Fold. Humans (one light-skinned, one dark-skinned) are just hands or legs; this is all about the cats--as it should be. Plenty of gardening giggles for cat lovers.
