Hi, my name is Aviva Gittle and I love to tell stories. Stories about flies who wear shorts, kittens who talk to snakes, and kids who do crazy things. Like turn into a bagel or try to bounce to the moon on a trampoline.

Aviva Gittle stories are professionally illustrated by artists all over the world, including: Carlos Brito in Brazil, Andres Cornejo of Argentina, Jennifer Chappell in the USA, and Tekla Huszár of Hungary.

I also partner with great story writers and editors, including British author Mark Megson. Mark and I wrote Moon Jump, Mary's Magic Word, and Snack Attack!

Aviva Gittle Publishing offers many great stories including Mort the Fly, Kitten & Butterfly, Gatito y Mariposa, In Nana's Arms, and Moon Jump. Most stories will be available in both English and Spanish. To keep current on new books and other Gittle news, follow me on Twitter: @AvivaGittle. Visit www.GoToGittle.com.

A tale of friendship

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 10, 2018

This is a gentle tale of two unlikely friends who are determined to find a way to play together. It was very sweet, and the illustrations are beautiful. It was a pleasure to read and I believe a child would adore it.

The Kitten told the Butterfly he couldn’t fly because I don’t have wings.
The Kitten had to explain to the Butterfly his anatomy parts (legs, paws).
He showed the Butterfly how to try & catch his tail.
The Butterfly replied he didn’t have a tail.
What did they tell each other next?

I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.

An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) Kitten & Butterfly adventure storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation (friendship), movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author(s); Aviva Gittle Publishing; 2nd edition; BookZio; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

Sweet story with a great moral

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

Kitten & Butterfly is a very sweet book about two unlikely friends. Butterfly wants Kitten to play, but Kitten cannot fly. The pair go back and forth asking each other to try different things so they can play together, but they just can't seem to find something they both can do and Butterfly is a little scared of Kitten's claws. Finally, in the end, they find something they both can play and have a lot of fun playing together. There is a moral written at the end of the story which is a nice touch that not many other books have these days. The illustrations are beautiful and so adorable!
We would recommend this book to kids around ages 4-9 because it teaches valuable lessons on friendship and appreciating each other's differences as well as similarities.

~~ True friendship takes into account each other's limitations. ~~

Along with being EXQUISITELY illustrated, enjoy a conversation between Butterfly and Kitten. Butterfly is encouraging Kitten to fly but of course he is unable to do so. Kitten then encourages Butterfly to chase his tail which of course he can't do! Do they part ways even after more failed suggestions? No! What do they find that they can both have fun with? Read this truly delightful story to find out.

This book is a little hard (not impossible) to read on my Kindle Paperwhite due to the font size BUT anyone with a bigger screen is not going to have any issues. IMHO though, this is a book though that deserves to be purchased in paperback/hardback and given a place of prominence in your home for kids to pick up and enjoy. They are sure to be captivated.

I downloaded this book on my Kindle. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

Kitten and Butterfly is a beautiful story about friendship

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2018

I loved this story starring Kitten and Butterfly. It clearly and cleverly shows you don't have to be the same to be friends. You'll see that Kitten tries to fly, but he can't do it without wings. Butterfly couldn't catch his tail, But naturally, he can' t do that. Still, the two make friends and find something that is fun for both of them. It's a great book for young children and no doubt, they will remember the lesson.

The tale of a beautiful friendship enjoying and employing one another's strengths.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is an affecting tale of a truly mutual friendship. They listen to each other. They are willing to try one more time with a refreshed spirit. 'Kitten and Butterfly' offers a model of inclusion and good-natured sharing that is baked right into the story. The gorgeous illustrations support the tale, adding nuance through facial expression, body language, and setting to provide further context. Instead of growing frustrated with one another's differences, Kitten and Butterfly each bring their sense of interest and encouragement as well as patience to this day's meeting/romp. I love how Butterfly talks Kitten through a difficult moment when the latter attempts an activity Butterfly proposes, with gentle compassion toward Kitten's concerns. At last, hmmm, I don't wish to spoil this story for you. Read and enjoy. Let the rich, dimensional illustrations further bring the beckoning words of friendship alive.
