Actress Jane Seymour and her husband, Actor James Keach, are among the latest celebrities to jump on the children's book bandwagon and are doing so very successfully. They've created a wonderful series of books in which their family of cats stand-in for their own family, allowing them to share their own experiences as parents and at the same time delighting children with the tales of their twin kittens, "This One and That One."

In "Splat" Dad AKA Big Jim Cat is home with the twins on a Sunday morning. He gets them dressed and fed but now comes the true test...keeping the two kittens entertained. Finally they decide that they will do some painting but cannot figure out what to paint. Dad finally suggests "paint me" and thus takes a nap in his chair, leaving the kids to come up with a masterpirce. Little did he know that when he suggested "paint me", the kids took it literally. Lady Jane cat comes home to find dad still asleep but now with a red face, blue nose, white paws, and brown stripes on his belly.

Well I'd say "Splat" surely addresses the scene all parents have experienced at some point when kids are left unsupervised with paint, or markers, or crayons. How many of us haven't been shocked to find our walls or bathtubs with brand new artwork that wasn't there a few minutes ago. That's the charm of these books by Jane Seymor and James Keach. They take these real-life situations and make them delightfully amusing. Enjoyable!
