5.0 out of 5 stars good book for kindergarten and first graders, October 14, 2008

By	Robertson Thomas (Hongcheon, Gangweon, South Korea) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For kindergarten and primary ESL classes, I like books with symmetrical sentences, such as this one.
("The cat dog sat on the mat.
The elephant sat on the mat.")

Other animals join the cat on the mat, much to the annoyance of the cat.
The cat scares the other animals off with a hiss.

The book is beautifully illustrated, like all of Brian Wildsmith's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat on the Mat Teaches Kids About Words, June 24, 2001

By	Jennifer Jones "djonesinatascadero" (San Luis Obispo, CA) - See all my reviews

This book is for the beginning reader. It shows that words have patterns and in this book the text is well supported by the pictures. Children learning how to read should read this book because it has excellent meaningful, structural and visual cues. I highly recommend this book for children who are learning how words work.
