5.0 out of 5 stars Clever Fat Cat is a Charmer!, May 16, 2001

This review is from: Fat Cat on a Mat (Usborne Easy Words to Read) (Paperback)

My 2 year old daughter loves this book! She has memorized it and can "read" it to herself! Fat Cat finds himself in a tree and becomes responsible for the eggs in a birds' nest. Fat Cat's friends want him to play but he declines as he is helping the little birdies hatch from the eggs. It teaches a a very timely lesson of accepting responsibility for your actions. This is not a lift-a-flap book, however there are 2 pages that unfold to advance the story. My daughter loves to open those pages. Also, with its big print and simple text, it is a great book for children who are just learning how to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best , February 2, 2009

By	JFred (Virginia) - See all my reviews

The Usbourne Phonics Readers are the fourth or fifth series of level one books we've tried and they are simply outstanding. My first grader loves the stories and illustrations, and the most amazing this is, he is able to read more challenging words in these books than others. They have just the right amount of words on each page, and they all seem to flow so well.

Clearly, alot of thought has gone into producing these materials. They have made reading a joy for my son and we are so grateful.

5.0 out of 5 stars phonics books, November 6, 2008

By	SmartMom "FutureBusinessOwners" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fat Cat on a Mat (Phonics Board Books) (Board book)

This is a super cute phonics book. When you read this to them, they hear it, they see it and they will make the connection. Talk to them about the words also when you are reading to them. Pretty soon they will be reading it to you.
