Customer Reviews

Great book for toddlers who love cats!
My daughter is going through a cat phase and she found this book at the library and LOVES it. We had to return it, so now I am buying her a copy for her birthday and she will be so thrilled. Ever since we returned it to the library, we have had to say it by heart before bed.... the rhymed couplets are very easy to remember and my daughter knows them all by heart. I think beyond it being a fun book with great pictures, it helped my daugher practice rhyming, too.

I just want to note also that the picture of the 'Kitty Puddling' is not graphic at all. You don't see a cat squatting down and peeing- all you see is a cat foot with a yellow puddle next to it. My toddler laughs so hard at that page.

All in all, 5 stars by far!!!

great if you love kitties
My 12 month old adores this book. We have cats and her first word was "kitty." This is by far her most requested book, and she loves that they are real pictures of cats. She likes to imitate the kissing kitties and all that.

My daughter's affection aside, as a book I'd rate this only "ok," although I think it's better than some of the other "busy" books. The rhymes feel forced and the vocab is not childlike ("strolling," "dozing"). It kind of ends abruptly and doesn't exactly build a narrative. I have it memorized and without a lot of embellishments (actions/sounds) it's pretty boring/repetitive.

But if you have a kiddo who loves cats, then I'm sure they will go bonkers for these busy kitties.

Great book
Wonderful, engaging and on occasion funny photos. My 5 year old and 18mth old are hooked!
