Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 1—This title featuring Catty, a cute Siamese cat, is designed to build reading skills in young readers. A note offers several tips for grown-ups reading with children, such as, "Read the book aloud as a first introduction," and "Run your fingers below the words as you read each line." The illustrations in this book provide clues about the text. For example, with the sentence, "Catty is a cat that likes food," the illustration shows Catty standing atop a tower of tuna fish, jam, and cat food to reach a bag of groceries on the counter. All of the illustrations are easy to understand and work well with the text. The book includes a list of the 18 words in the story, which can be used in classroom or home settings. VERDICT A solid choice to help young readers' expand their skills; will find an audience in a school or public library.—Robin Sofge, Prince William P.L. Syst., VA
