Perhaps it's the fact that I haven't had any children yet (one on the way), but this book seems awfully simplistic to me even for a children's book! Here's two pages worth of writing: "Sometimes all day in the window he'll sit... All by himself or with his sister Bridget". That somehow fills TWO pages and there are only 13 pages of text!

The first page mentions eating cantaloupe and that's the last time anything about cantaloupe is mentioned in the book. I thought good stories (even kid's books) were supposed to tie the subject matter into the story more than once!!

The book design itself is nothing special. The illustrations are OK, but not that engaging. I definitely was hoping for a better story.
Dr Seuss.... now those are children's books!!

My two year old grandson takes great delight in his book collection. He discovered "The Cantaloupe Cat" when he was only 18 months old and it immediately became one of his favorites. It's the first book he hands me to read and he now enjoys sitting on the floor and turning the pages himself. The text is especially child friendly and the illustrations are appealing to grown ups as well. The story of Jerry, the cat who likes cantaloupe, is one children and adults both will have fun sharing.

The text is just right for young children and the illustrations are adorable. It reveals a secret for most of the public. Many cats love cantaloupe. Even if yours doesn't, you'll appreciate this book.
