[Leanne Lynch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is from the ‘fun with phonics’ series of early reader books, designed to develop children competency in phonics, particularly three letter words.
The book is a simple, effective way of introducing children to phonics and CVC words. The text is large print and bold, making it easier for children to read and accessible as a whole class activity. The book itself is quite short yet succinct in its desire to provide phonics practice, making it a perfect foundation for a phonics lesson.
I believe children would find the events in the book quite entertaining and therefore engaging. The words used in the book relate to the events unfolding, which gives the book an aspect of natural progession.
The interactive letter wheel at the side of the book is also an excellent resource to accompany reading.
I would use this book in an EYFS setting to introduce three letter words with the middle ‘a’ vowel sound.

Rhyming tale of Fat Cat with emphasis on the middle letter a and three letter words. Fat Cat is a chubby cat that eats and naps and dreams of eating. What will happen when his owner Pat sees a rat in her hat?

I like that this phonics book has a turning wheel so that kids can try to find the word featured on each page. This interactive game makes it easier for kids to learn the words. It is an extension of the book within the book.

Kiddo loves this book! She demanded it nearly every night before bedtime.
