Kitty Sweet Tooth Makes a Movie review at Sequential Tart!
Kitty Sweet Tooth Makes a Movie got a great review at Sequential Tart!
“This is a great follow-up book to the first! It builds on both of the main aspects: snacks and films. Having Kitty quest for ingredients and film her adventures in doing so, is such a good idea!…The art is truly magical. There are so many fun details, plus the unique settings and costume changes. The colors just pop, too! “
