Book Reviews of If You Give a Cat a Cupcake (If You Give... Books)
Book Review: The Cat's Meow!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is pure catnip for all cat lovers!
If you have never read one of children's books written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond, you have a treat ahead of you. This top team knows how to create fantasy, fun, and foolishness in just the right measures by letting . . . one thing lead to another in a wacky way. In the process, children begin to see life from an adult's perspective as treating a cat well leads to one demand and issue after another. It's a welcome way to cross the generational divide.
The cat first showed up in If You Give a Pig a Party. Perhaps the biggest surprise in this terrific series is that it didn't have a story featuring a cat before this one.
I'm sure that all cat lovers have missed a chance to see what indulging a cat can lead to. This story will tickle your whispers!
"If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it."
"When you give him some sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor."
"Cleaning him up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit."
and on the story goes as a little blond girl waits on her male cat who lives life like it's, well, the cat's pajamas!
The illustrations make this story rise above your everyday cat in the beach blanket book. Even something as simple as getting sand off becomes as active as watching the chorus line at Radio City Music Hall.
While some might prefer other books in the series, I think the illustrations make this story as good as any of the goofiest Numeroff/Bond outings.
Warm a pan of milk to share with your cat, make some hot chocolate, and enjoy!
