5.0 out of 5 stars Clever Fat Cat is a Charmer!, May 16, 2001

This review is from: Fat Cat on a Mat (Usborne Easy Words to Read) (Paperback)

My 2 year old daughter loves this book! She has memorized it and can "read" it to herself! Fat Cat finds himself in a tree and becomes responsible for the eggs in a birds' nest. Fat Cat's friends want him to play but he declines as he is helping the little birdies hatch from the eggs. It teaches a a very timely lesson of accepting responsibility for your actions. This is not a lift-a-flap book, however there are 2 pages that unfold to advance the story. My daughter loves to open those pages. Also, with its big print and simple text, it is a great book for children who are just learning how to read.

Bought this for my niece for her 2nd birthday. She loves it and brings it to everyone to read to her. She especially loves pointing to a picture of the cat and meowing.

My five-year old is really enjoying practicing reading with this book and others in the series. The phonically arranged words (similar sounds in each book) help her to get through them, the stories are amusing, and the pictures engaging. The flaps and 'hidden ducks' keep it enjoyable too. So I highly recommend these, to anyone with young readers at home.
