Snappy and Fun

I love this book! I can't understand why it went out of print and I hope the publisher brings it back. The rhyming story is fast-paced and fun, the bright illustrations really pop, and the story illustrates different perceptions of a (wonderfully drawn) cat. This would be a great gift for a child between 3 and 6 years old.

This is a wonderful book!

This is absolutely my favorite of my daughter's 4 million books. People tend to fall into two camps (love 'em/ hate 'em) when it comes to cats, and the phrase "only a mother could love him" indicates the same is sometimes also true of loved ones. This book, using those dynamics, introduces kids to personal perspectives: He's a wonderful cat who sits on laps/ he's a horrible cat who jumps in my lap. It's all done in a delightfully goofy/endearing way.

This book is our daughter's favorite book!

We have dozens of books, but our two year old daughter consistently brings out Lost Cat. She can complete every sentence and often takes over the paragraphs. It is a fun book, and keeps the parent's and children's attention each time.
