LoveReading4Kids Says

There’s something fishy going in in this cat’s house alright, but unfortunately nothing to do with the kind that ends up in a dishy. Why are the family oblivious to requests for fish treats and instead busy decorating, looking dreamy and buying little bootees? Children will cotton on to what’s going on much quicker than the increasingly grumpy and worried cat narrating the story and will love filling the gaps between the words and the pictures.

They’ll also love Cat’s expression when the new baby arrives home. Polly Dunbar’s illustrations are child-centered, deceptively simple and satisfying, and the book is a wonderful way to explore feelings. It will be particularly helpful too to any child about to become a big brother or sister, after all Cat is still loved by the family, and particularly by the new baby!
