I'm putting this on my early chapter book shelf despite it not having chapters. Longer than a picture book, but not quite a novel, this is purrfect (sorry) for ages 6 to 8. I read it aloud to my 6yo in one sitting and we had a good discussion based on the plot: the kittens didn't like being discriminated against -- so why was Marmalade discriminating against the dogs? ( )

Not quite as good as the first one. ( )

Marmalade, Bubbles, & Co. are coming off successes building the mayor's mansion and the new stadium, and next is a new bridge. Marmalade happily accepts the job, forgetting about the water. Bubbles convinces Marmalade to accept help from the dogs' demolition company, and the job is completed on time - despite Marmalade's initial prejudice against the dogs. A fun sequel to the first Kitten Construction Company, and an exploration of how power and success can change people - or not, with the appropriate reminder. ( )

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( )

This was just as cute as the first one. This time the Kitten construction has to work around water as they are building a bridge. But there is only one cat who can get close enough to help. So the crew takes on some new staff: dogs. But can the cats ever trust the dogs? This is a great series for beginning readers, or reluctant readers.
