lovely over and over again

Our oldest and youngest (separated by ten years) both loved this book as toddlers and it retains it's charm for the adults reading it. It is a current favourite of the youngest, and gets read at least daily and I never get sick of it.

Wonderful and Fun Read for All

This book is a wonderful and fun read for all. My four year old has it memorized already and we've only had it a week. The text and animations are fun, colorful and leads your imagination on a wonderful journey with Cat Ballon. The CD for this book is wonderful as well with songs written for the stage adaptation.
