3.0 out of 5 starsSome good, some bad
By Carrie Gray-wood on December 18, 2009
Format: Hardcover
We have both the Cat and Dog version of this book. Its so great that someone FINALLY developed a toddler friendly version of a pop-up book. There's at least one interactive feature on each page spread and it includes squeaky balls, swishing tails, batting paws. Our kids delight in these little sturdy pull tabs. They're pretty durable, if your kids are already fairly respectful with their books. What really disappoints me about these is how crummy the binding is. We had pages separating on the spine side within just a few days of buying them. They're some of our best loved books, so we keep them on a shelf out of reach where the kids must ask for them-but neverless, after a year's worth of reading, they're in really rough shape, despite my careful taping and gluing. Van Fleet, you're really on to something here and if we can keep the darn thing together it will probably stand out in my girls' memories as an all time favorite childhood book. But your publisher's binding quality really, really stinks! For the price of this book I expected better.

4.0 out of 5 starsJust as good as Dog by Matthew Van Fleet!
By Kate on February 13, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I preordered this book for my daughter because she absolutely loves Van Fleet's "Dog" book, and I was hoping "Cat" would be just as good... my daughter and I were not disappointed!
The book is listed for children ages 2 and up, but my daughter is 15 months and already enjoys pulling the tabs, petting the fur and flipping open the pages to reveal more cats. She is absolutely intrigued by the squeaking ball! That was the first thing she discovered when she pressed on the cover, and then she turned the pages to find out the source (it's actually a few pages in). She will often sit on the floor for 15 minutes and flip through the pages on her own, carefully examining the cats and all of the features the book has to offer.
My daughter used to bring us her "Dog" book, sit on our lap and demand that we read the book, pull the tabs and pet the animals with her. Now, after only a few days, she does the same with "Cat". At least we can switch back and forth now!
We also have "Tails" and "Fuzzy Yellow Ducklings" by Van Fleet, but for some reason my daughter isn't as interested in them. Perhaps she doesn't find them as fascinating because they are illustrations and don't have as many soft textures as "Dog" and "Cat" do. Either way, I recommend Matthew Van Fleet's "Cat"!
PS: After a while, the kitten that pops out of the boots broke. My daughter must've pulled on the kitten or something!

5.0 out of 5 starsReal Child Pleaser
By Teresa on May 16, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I bought this for my toddler granddaughter and she loved the book. There are two cats in her home, so she was familiar with cats, and loved turning the pages, looking at the pictures and feeling the "fur" on the pages as well as the push-pull features that made the book interactive. This was a great book for a curious little girl who loves cats.

5.0 out of 5 starsEven grownups love them
By J. GOYDER on May 20, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I had four new babies to buy for in a short space and came across these beautiful books. I ended up buying two of each-one dog book, one cat book - for each child.
These are beautifully done- I will never forget the sixty something Grandmas PORING over them at a baby shower and the other Grandmas impatiently waiting their turn.
The books are nice enough to give as a shower gift and were really appreciated by the new Mamas among all the usual clothes and baby blankets.
As for the actual kids who will "read" them,, these are sturdy, well made books with gorgeous photos and something happens- a texture, a sound, a pull-out- on every page. As the adult who will read them to the child, some of the pages are quite funny-when you end up reading them multiple times you will appreciate this. As with all pop-up books, these should probably be read to the child as there are moving parts but compared to a lot of this genre, they are very sturdy and should last quite a while. The animals are actual pets and are named on the last page. Classy and fun and gorgeous to look at! The above applies to the Dog book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Reads" this book daily
By JennP on November 17, 2009
Format: Hardcover
My son got this book as a present for his first birthday. We started off keeping it up on a shelf and bringing it down to read together as he pulled and pushed the kitten in the boot a few too many times and mangled it. But now that he is 18 months old, he is an old pro with this book and it is, by far, his #1 pick. He will spend 5-10 minutes reading/playing with this book numerous times each morning, afternoon, and evening. Every day. Anyone with an 18 month old knows how amazing it is to find something that will keep their attention for that long. He flips open the one page to the hidden dog and gives a 'oof oof', squeaks at the mouse under the cheese, and seems able to keep meowing every time we point to yet another cat. Lots of textures, lots of pictures, hours and hours of entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 starsI loved the book and read it 3x already to myself.
By ScotFlower on June 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The cat book was far better than the dog book... It was far more balanced with interactions and even has a squeaky toy in it = ) Plus the rhyming and topics were fun and I laughed at the cool cat copy cat (even though the image was Photoshopped it was great). So even though I am a dog person, I am only keeping the cat book for my son. However, the cat book is not without a few issues.

First, the added fabric to pet runs the risk of paper cuts. Sometimes the fur sinks away from the page while petting it with your finger, so you rub the side of your finger on the edge of paper... which could lead to a paper cut. I found the dog book to be worse in this regard as the cat book tends to have wider cut outs. I almost got a paper cut with the dog book, but not so with the cat book.. but the risk though less is still there. But if you think about it... almost any book runs the risk of a paper cut.

Second, there is a cat flying on a broomstick labeled "the witch." I really wish they used some other rhyming word like pitch with a singing cat etc.. I prefer this just to keep the book religiously neutral. I know there are a lot of religious people that would be offended by a witch and would not buy or would return the book for this reason alone.

Overall, I loved the book and read it 3x already to myself. Loved the flaps that opened, loved the moving tabs items, loved the range of cats, and loved that tabs could go in or out so you had to pay attention to which way the arrow was facing..
