Editorial Reviews

04/01/2021

PreS-K—Fine feline fun can be found in this alphabet book where every page sees a different cat sitting by, lazing on, or climbing up its letter in perfect harmony with a measured rhyme scheme describing each specific cat. Light watercolors form letters and cats alike, though the details are best understood from the text.
