Kitty and I is a children's book, written and illustrated by Karyn Connors. This is the story of a human, Kitty, meeting her assistance dog, Raffy. It shows the day they first meet. It shows the special bond they develop. It shows the things they do together. It also explains why Kitty needs an assistance dog. It details the training Raffy must complete for this role. Most importantly, it shows how much they love being together.

Kitty and I is written from the dog's point of view. This is a great twist on a classic love story about the bond between a human and her​​ dog. The book teaches children about assistance dogs, including why a human might need one. It details the training required. It also discusses the symptoms of anxiety in humans. Thus, in addition to being fun and entertaining, this book has educational value.

Kitty and I is filled with colourful and innovative illustrations. Children will love the fact that the pages are completely covered with pictures, with the text laid over the top. The illustrations combine painted elements with occasional photographs. On one page, Kitty's body is a photograph; only her head is illustrated. On another, one of Kitty's hands is the only photographic element. Though it is unusual, this mix of styles works. It also provides a point of difference from other children's books.

As for negatives, I found only two minor errors in the book's text, both in the same sentence. Also, Raffy's name is not mentioned in the story, only in the blurb at the end. However, it could be argued that the dog does not know or understand his name, which is why he never mentions it.

Kitty and I is a fantastic children's book. Connors has created something for kids that is bright, fun, and informative. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend it to the parents of young children, particularly those who love dogs. Given its educational value, it should suit kids up to 10 years old.

I agree with the author that anyone deserves to own his dog or young ones, I think it is a good book for educational value.

This book actually shows humanity, shows the beauty of a person being able to shows a great relationship with any animals or to the dog. The how a human cares and shows love for the dog is an example of a great person which also one of the good example to follow.

Kitty and I , is something a book for my kids . It can help them with their self-esteem. Also, can help them understand that it is okay for them to get assistant with stuff they need helped with or if it taken them a moment to learn anything. Example : their name or how old are they.

This sounds like a great book for kids with a deeper teaching, although, there is something about the illustration on the front cover that I find somewhat unsettling.
