Rating: 5 Stars
Poor Splat is so worried about his first day at Cat School. His tail
twitches all over, and he does whatever he can to delay. Before
his mother manages to drag him out of the house, he slips his
pet mouse, Seymour, into his lunchbox, figuring that at least he’ll
have a friend on what is sure to be a scary day.
When Splat gets to school, his round and kind teacher, Mrs.
Wimpydimple, and his new classmates all make him feel
welcome. Splat asks a lot of questions, but he finds out just how
amazing his species can be. One cardinal rule that Mrs.
Wimpydimple teachers them is that “cats chase mice.”
At lunchtime, chaos breaks loose when Seymour escapes the
lunchbox, and Splat’s classmates do what cats do. With
Seymour’s help, Splat can teach his fellow cats a few new tricks,
and even save the day.
This lovingly detailed book shows a lot of personality in its
illustrations, and was an absolute joy to read. I’m sure that
reading it aloud with a child would be even more fun!
