Great for a toddler too!

My 2 year old son and I first found this book at the library, and I am now buying him his very own copy. This is a fun story with a lot of repetition, which toddlers love. The first part of the book involves a series of naughty episodes by the cat with the phrase "That bad, bad,cat, his family said" after each one. Then the cat runs away, the family looks everywhere for him, and, of course, he finally returns. The moral: no matter what he did, his family still loved him. My son recites the "bad, bad, cat" part on cue, and starts crying "I miss him, I miss him!" as soon as the cat runs out the door. It is just adorable. This book fulfills all my requirements for a toddler's book. It is short, interactive, repetitive, and has a theme he can relate to.
