Read for my toddler's story time. She decided to wake up at 3am. Tom & Jerry in fact are funnier on TV than in books.. but it presented an okay read.

Read from kindle unlimited.

I gave it a three, but a high three. It was fun and a book that would be great to read, interact and enjoy with several kids at once. Don't you just love Tom and Jerry.

This might be a good book for an early reader.

Jerry relies on an old friend to chase Tom away.

[Christen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book, but I have to add a lot of exposition of my own to make the progressions from page to page work for storytime. Still, a lot of fun and I always love a book that invites movement and participation. Read as a filler for intro storytime to kindergartners.

Thanks to the wonders of MeTV, Shortcake has experienced the awesomeness of the original Tom and Jerry cartoons. So, when this one came up in our suggested reading list on Kindle Unlimited, she had to give it a try.

And it's.....OK.

Tom chases Jerry through the book, with Jerry encouraging readers to do things like clap to ward off various pitfalls. I suppose it wasn't the wisest choice to help wind down at bedtime and I don't hold that against the book. What I do hold against it is that it feels short -- almost like an extended board book. If I'd paid a good amount of money for it, I might be more annoyed.

There are other books that are more engaging out there.

You must remember that those characters conquered their fears , how Do we get Only like this in our daily lives by facing difficulty bravely?

Little to no actual story line, but my preschoolers will love acting it out for during story time!

It was really good!

my 6 yo enjoyed reading this book. The words and word chunks are very good for young readers. The graphics are colorful and entertaining.

good book

[Brandon Garrels · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book would be for preschool to early grade school children and is in the genre of fantasy due to the animals having human traits. It has a copyright of 2014. This story involves all of the typical cat and mouse stories we all know and love. In the end the dog comes and chases Tom away and reminds me of how my dogs have chased cats out of my backyard.

[Duane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't expecting much when I got this book, but I'm so glad I took the time to look inside it. It's perfect for story times for younger children. It's very interactive and the illustrations are bold and easy to see. I love the different sound effects that you can do with your readers. It's perfect for any groups that enjoy helping the "reader" read the book.

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite title in the Tom and Jerry interactive picture books has readers performing simple movements to aide Jerry in outrunning Tom.

A fun read aloud with PreK-2.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be five stars for the concept, but being a licensed characters book really brings it down.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better than I expected. Interactive and fast-paced. Recommended for Tom and Jerry fans ages 3-5.

[Kelly Ford · Rating 4 out of 5]

I plan on using this for a music and movement story time. It has a lot of interaction with the audience, which is great for that age group (2-5).

[Brandy Wilkes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute interactive book. Great for use in preschool storytimes. The kids will love the bright illustrations and what the book asks them to do.

[Irlain Kruin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great for Preschool Storytime, Marvelous me

[Brian · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book reminded me of Monster at the End of This Book and Mo Willem's Pigeon books.

[Michael Rank · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you need a middle-of-the-road (just like all the later year Tom and Jerry shorts) call and response book with practically no plot, then this is the book for you!

[Robin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. Nothing recommendable here, move along.
