Customer Reviews

great book!

My 3 year old son loves this book. It is easy to follow. Great rhymes and simple illustrations. I recommmend it to beginner readers!

What is that said the cat.

This is a very fun entry-level reader because it combines common words,with very wonderful (expression filled) drawings and the story-line is constantly building to the surprising ending. Our grandchildren all enjoy reading it to us.

Great for new or struggling readers

I really love beginner books that are truly for beginners. This one fits the bill. The repetitive, rhyming style makes it accessible for very new readers. Lots of short words to sound out like cat, pup and pig, with clear, uncluttered illustrations to help the reader along. All the animal names are repeated near the end of the story, which is funny and satisfying. It's one of my kindergartener's favorites.

What a great book !

We already had this funny book and loved it so much, we had to order it for my son's kindergarten class. This book is perfect for beginning readers. Almost all the sentences have rhymes, like "it is big, said the pig", "let me see, said the bee". The drawings are well done and funny, and are perfect for helping kids to guess the words. I know it will be a favorite of your child and that you will have a great time reading it again and again (plus, it's easy for kids to memorize it)

"what is That?" Said the Cat

This is one of my 6 yr old son's favorite books. It's an easy read. If you have a beginner reader this is a great book. One or two sentences per page sometimes just a word, great pictures and funny ending. Best of all my son can read it on his own and finds it funny every time it's read. In our family we give it five stars. Hope this helps.
