Review:

A silly little girl loves her big cat. She wakes her cat from his nap and plays with him in such a way that he attempts to hide. She hugs him and squeezes him. She lifts him over her head and he flies. She makes him dance and even pinches his cheeks.

Author Ethan Long has created a hilarious fast read beginners will love. Short sentences with easy reader words will build confidence for the first-time reader. Bold colorful pictures are full of expression. Parents and teachers can open dialogue with readers on how to take care of pets.
