Reviewed by Cayden Aures (age 5) and Mom for Reader Views (12/09)
In "Cat the Cat, Who is That?" Cat introduces us to all of her friends like Mouse, Duck, Fish, and to a special new friend at the end of the book.
Cayden: "I like that I can read the words in this book. Lots of the words are in there more than one time. I can read it to my brother. My favorite part was the end of the book where cat gets a new friend, the one that says "Blarggie!" He was funny looking!"
Parent's comments:
"Cat the Cat, Who is That?" is a very simplistic book with a lot of word repetition and words that sounds similar. It is a great book to share with a beginning reader as it contains many basic words like cat, fish, etc.. The illustrations are not complex, but they still entertain without taking the focus away from the text. We recommend "Cat the Cat, Who is That?" for any child just learning to read.

I bought this for my two year old daughter's birthday. She loves the Mo Willems books and illustrations and this one is a hit. Cat the cat meets up with several friends (including Duck the duck, Fish the fish, Mouse the mouse...well, you get the picture). At the end up the book, Cat meets up with someone she doesn't recognize (an absolutely adorable monster) but sees this strange creature as a potential NEW friend. Cute lesson. Simple, easy book with brightly colored illustrations. I'd guess this is most appropriate for ages 1-4. Both my kids love it!

My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs old and she loves this book. She strongly requests that I read this to her 4-5x in a row.

This a delightful book for small children. It could be read to toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners as there's something for everyone. For toddlers there's the fun drawings and cozy message about friends; and for pre-k and kindergarten there's also a subtle message that you don't have to be put off from being friends with children that might be a little different than you.
In addition, since "Cat the Cat" is written at the 1.0 Accelerated Reading level, and contains very few words, it would be a nice beginning reader for early readers.
THE SKINNY:::
"Cat the Cat, Who Is That?" is a very nice book for toddlers thru preschoolers. Some kindergartners will like it -- some will be looking for more. My children, who are now ancient by these standards, and I still read and enjoyed it -- basically because we're big Mo Willems fans.

This amusing story in rhyme is an excellent way for your preschooler to learn phonemic awareness in this marvelous tale! July 10, 2010
D. Fowler (Vermont)
Cat the Cat jauntily approached a mouse who was bouncing a ball. "Cat the Cat, / who is that? / It's Mouse the Mouse!" The duo smiled and said hello to each other. Cat the Cat then skipped up to a duck cuddling her duckling. Very soon Cat the Cat knew that it was Duck the Duck. Making new friends and learning their names was fun. She quickly danced a little jig and approached Fish the Fish, who was wearing his blue swimming trunks as he busily blew bubbles.
Cat the Cat was enjoying her new friends ("Sure do!"), but soon she came upon a creature that was weird and strange looking. "EEP!" Her tail fluffed out and her wide eyes became wider than they ever were before. The monster had four arms coming out of its red shirt with the heart on it, four teeth, a blue tongue, and two eyes sticking out on the top of its head. "Cat the Cat, who it THAT?" Was Cat the Cat going to like this very strange critter?
This amusing story in rhyme is an excellent way for your preschooler to learn phonemic awareness in this totally delightful tale. Before your youngster learns to read there are several pre-reading skills they need to become aware of when they are read and one is the phoneme, a small sound that helps differentiate one word from another. In this book the two rhyming words are "cat" and "that," a rhyming scheme that will quickly be picked up and detected by your little one (think Dr. Seuss when you think about phonemes). The artwork is simple, charming, and very appealing. If you are looking for a fabulous series that utilizes "early-learning concepts," Cat the Cat has them down pat!
