Cat Got a Lot [Paperback]

Now in a 6 x 9 size--this warm story about a cat who goes looking for a fish and winds up with a lot more celebrates friendship and generosity.

Cat wants a fish. He goes out to find one, but first he sees a horn in the window of a music shop. Cat's neighbor Elephant might like a horn . . . so Cat buys it. Out he goes again, in search of a fish, when he comes across a bookstore. Dog is a real bookworm and Cat can't resist getting him a book . . . . And so on! Cat is so excited to bring these gifts back to his friends that he almost forgets to find a fish for himself! When Cat returns to his building, everyone is happy with what they get. That makes Cat happy, too! Repetition of the one- and (extremely few) two-syllable words will build confidence in readers just starting out, and the heavy-outlined, full-bleed illustrations offer myriad details to catch the eye and extend the story. Another ideal story for newly hatched readers. —Kirkus Reviews

This imaginative early reader will help build new readers' confidence. . . . An excellent addition to the series, and an ideal choice for a beginning reader shelves. —School Library Journal
