Fun Book
My 13 month old girl is obsessed with cats, and she loves this book. We “read” the book a few times a day. She especially loves the moving parts - cat waving its tail, little kitten hiding inside of the boot, cat trying to catch a fish. Every page has a “surprise,” there is a lot to touch, to move, and there are a lot of cats. I am glad I bought it.
Destroyed in minutes
I want to give this a higher rating because my son honestly loves it, but because they didn't put any of the clear protectors on the cat arms and tails in this book (dance has covers on all moving parts) my 16 month old destroyed it within minutes. We've had it for two days now and there are 3 page covered in clear packing tape and I've had to channel my inner MacGyver to fix one of the cat arms. Love these books, but this one didn't think things through before putting it out.
Cute, interactive book!
My son received the "MOO" book for his 1st birthday and loved it to pieces - three pieces, to be exact. I have taped that thing back together too many times! I was looking online to buy it again when I saw the CAT book. We have a Siamese that looks just like the mischievous fellow on the cover. My son went bonkers when I handed it to him. The book is very well made, pictures are of live cats in action, not drawings, and the pages are thick. Our only issue is that the pull tabs that make the cat's paw move, kitten pop out of the boot, etc., are delicate and the moving cat parts aren't behind cellophane. This book is definitely made for a child that understands books are delicate. My son is 2 so we supervise while enjoying this book and keep it tucked away during rough housing.
Lovely cat book!
This is a beautifully crafted book of interactive cat photographs. My little granddaughter loves it and I have given several as gifts, over the years. The price is reasonable and I highly recommend this particular book, as well as the others in the series.
great entertaining book for years to come
we have the dog version and our son loves it (9months old). he's sort of destroyed some of the book by bending it but he loves these books so much so we now have the cat one and the dog one. dog one is better in my opinion but these are still great. quality is very good.
Still interesting
it has been almost 3 months and my 1.5 yr old daughter still loves this picture before bedtime. I particularly love how the pages were updated so that the pull and push features do not come out of the book and are easier to play with. Overall an excellent purchase and still doesn't get old for her!
Clever and cute
We love this book and "Dog." My daughter is somewhat obsessed with both animal species right now, so I hopped on amazon to find a good book of photographs. This is that plus so much more. It's wonderfully interactive and the text is clever and cute. We're looking into the others in series, as this is a regular read in our household.
Very cute little book.
I bought this book as part of a gift for my daughter. She is very into animals and from time to time will fixate on one. So, I decided to get her a few books about cats. These are great for a little reader. My daughter is captivated by the pictures and she also enjoys having the story read to her. You can't go wrong buying books for kids.
Good for a toddler
At 10 months my daughter became fascinated with our house cat but he wouldn't sit around long enough for her to poke at him so we decided to get her the next best thing -- textured books! Having purchased 3 books from the Touch & Feel line, we wanted to expand her library and found this one. As an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. At my daughter's age, she loved seeing all the different types of cats but was too overzealous with some of the interactive pages! The "swishing twitching cat tail" now has a giant piece of duct tape mended over. My daughter also loves the squeaky ball but she doesn't have the finger dexterity yet to push it herself. The last page is absolutely adorable featuring all the cats shown in the book with their names. I can see my daughter at age 2 trying to remember each & every one's name!!
Even grownups love them
I had four new babies to buy for in a short space and came across these beautiful books. I ended up buying two of each-one dog book, one cat book - for each child. These are beautifully done- I will never forget the sixty something Grandmas PORING over them at a baby shower and the other Grandmas impatiently waiting their turn. The books are nice enough to give as a shower gift and were really appreciated by the new Mamas among all the usual clothes and baby blankets. As for the actual kids who will "read" them,, these are sturdy, well made books with gorgeous photos and something happens- a texture, a sound, a pull-out- on every page. As the adult who will read them to the child, some of the pages are quite funny-when you end up reading them multiple times you will appreciate this. As with all pop-up books, these should probably be read to the child as there are moving parts but compared to a lot of this genre, they are very sturdy and should last quite a while. The animals are actual pets and are named on the last page. Classy and fun and gorgeous to look at! The above applies to the Dog book as well.
