Fluffy Little Kitten is a series of 3 children's books by Robert Bassett.


History

[edit]

The Fluffy Little Kitten books were originally written as e-books and sold on eBay. Bassett claims the books were written as a joke to impress his then girlfriend.[1]

The three books were published with little fanfare in late 2008 and early 2009. The books achieved some noteworthiness in january 2009 when mentioned in a column in the Guardian newspaper. The columnist Zoe Williams wrote a piece entitled "I have no enthusiasm for children's television or children's books. They're seriously witless" in which she listed a Fluffy Little Kitten book as one of the few childrens' books not to drive her wild with boredom. .[2]

In May of 2009 it was announced that CBeebies radio in the uk (the children's arm of the UK's largest broadcaster) had commissioned six Fluffy Lttle Kitten stories for broadcast in the autumn. [3]

Common Themes in Fluffy Little Kitten Stories

[edit]

In every single Fluffy Little Kitten story so far published, the story features a small brown kitten called Fluffy, who becomes upset and cries, usually because of a very minor problem. Once he calms down and his situation is explained to him fully he cheers up and in the closing page of each book, "everything works out alright in the end."
