A book that is a pleasure to read once and again - Buck (Sid and
Sam, p. 65, etc.) scores with this entry in the My First I Can Read
Book series. With a careful economy of words, Buck tells of a
hopeful relationship between a girl and three cats. Using primarily
four-word sentences and monosyllabic words, as well as internal
rhyme for the sound of poetry, a girl urges cats to frolic with
her. She tries to get them to swing, play hide-and-seek, and come
down from a tree: "If you stay, cats/we will play, cats. Up to you,
cats./Be my new cats." Just when it seems the cats will run away,
they all land together at her feet, in a cuddly heap. Fewer than
100 words faithfully employ repetition, yet also impart personality
to the girl and the shy cats. The illustrations are full of mild
humor and just the fight amount of action, providing helpful clues
for those deciphering the words. It can't be easy to make so few
words add up to so much fun, but Buck and Westcott have done it.
(Kirkus Reviews)
When a young girl spies three cats in her yard, she hopes they will be her playmates! But these frolicking felines have other ideas for fun. Will they ever be her friends?
Illustrated with bright, fresh pictures by Nadine Bernard Westcott, Nola Buck's simple text is perfect for emergent readers and cat lovers alike.
