Meow, more than ever, the world needs a furry hero–and his name is Sam Katz. Sam Katz is on the loose in this wildly original, glitter-sparkling book of 3-D scenes guaranteed to amaze and amuse children of all ages. Who is Sam Katz? Let’s put it this way: He is not your average humdrum Purina Cat Chow—munching, hairball-gacking pussycat. Everyday, Sam Katz’s owners leave him all alone in an apartment whose walls are hung with paintings of exotic scenes. Where does Sam go when his owners are away? Why, he dives smack-dab into the action of the paintings, of course! From the steamy rain forest to the far-frozen north, from the hurly-burly of a boardwalk carnival to the peace and serenity of the mountain majesties, Sam Katz is one cat who doesn’t miss a scene. Children won’t want to miss out, either, as the text challenges them to explore each and every scene in full, and often hilarious, detail.

Fancatstic!,
This review is from: Sam Katz on the Loose! (Hardcover)
The artwork is great, and the captions include lots of little puns and jokes that parents will appreciate.
Your kids probably won't need this tip--but as a dumb adult, I had trouble figuring out what to do with the pull tabs on each page. I kept thinking I was supposed to pull to the right and slide something out. But you need to pull UP and to the side at the same time, to create a 3D effect. The top of the page raises up like part of a box.

Bought 1 for each of my grandchildren,
This review is from: Sam Katz on the Loose! (Hardcover)
This book is fabulous. I bought one for each of my grandchildren and myself. We live very far apart, but with each having their own book, I can read it to them over the phone and they can follow along on their end. The oldest is 5. The book's creators and illustrator had an imagination that would not quit. What a concept, a cat that is home alone all day decides to enter pictures on the wall and then with wit and rhyme describe his adventures. The pull out feature on the illustrations give you 3D vision of his journeys. This book may surpass Dr.Seuss, if you can imagine that.

This review is from: Sam Katz on the Loose! (Hardcover)
This book has to be the best children's book I have seen in some time.
The story is beguiling and the illustrations are quite superb. There is something new and interesting to see each time you look at it. All my little friends, (kids not cats) are delighted with it!!!!!
