Where Is the Cat?
This fun and familiar tale of cat chase invites you to spot Cat in every scene as he hides from Suzy, from award-winning author and illustrator, Eva Eland.
Suzy is visiting Auntie today, and she wants to play with Cat. But where is he? Always just out of her reach, Suzy calls for him – all she wants to do is play dressing up, or dance together, or pretend they’re mummy and baby . . . but Cat doesn’t like the sound of that one bit. Will he change his mind at nap time, when Suzy is quiet and curled up in bed?

I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion.
Oh, what authors can do with only a few colors and pages. This book starts out as another cat aloof book but turns into how to play respectfully with pets, especially those that are not your own. I love that the pet in question is a cat, not only because I love cats, but because they often get a bad rap for hiding when people come over and not being “friendly” like dogs. It all depends on the personality of the cat and the lifestyle they are used to. A great book to introduce kids to pets and how to treat them with care.

A cute and bright book about a niece that just wants to see her aunt's cat!
