3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed..., May 14, 2002

By A Customer

I missed the dimensions of the book when I ordered it so I was surprised to see how tiny it was. I expected it to be the same size as the other Baby Einstein books (Shapes, Counting etc.). The other disappointing aspect is the illustrations. Some of the pictures are reproductions of artwork (rather than photographs of cats) and for a baby it's hard to see in those pictures where the cat is. (For example, a woman holding a cat on her lap). My son (14 months) likes the first page (child's drawing of a cat), the page showing the Baby Einstein calico cat (from the Neighborhood animals book) and then 3 pages that show the photographs of real cats. He doesn't like the artistic cats much at all. And on the last page it's hard for even me to find the cat in that painting. My son doesn't stay interested in the book very long and rarely picks it out himself to read. I was going to get the Dogs book, too, but not after seeing this one. I prefer the larger Baby Einstein books like Neighborhood Animals. My son loves to read those!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size for little hands!, January 19, 2004

By	E. Chandler (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book and Baby Einstein "Babies" for my 3 month old daughter. I placed them in a corner of her crib and when she began to roll around, she'd pick one up and play with it. Now she's 9 months old and she often plays with them after her nap or first thing in the morning. I've even caught her holding it open in her hands and looking at the pictures!! These books are a perfect size for my daughter to hold by herself and explore their shape and their pages.

This is a short, simple book about cats designed for infants and up. Like all of the Baby Einstein books, the illustrations are a combination of drawings, photographs, and famous works of art. Most babies and toddlers are fascinated by cats--especially those from families with a pet cat--and this book is likely to capture their imagination while also teaching some basic facts (eg, a baby cat is called a kitten). Plus, the extra-small size makes it conveniently portable for car, diaper bag, or wherever. A nice little gift for the little one in your life!
