Do you adore cute cats? Do you enjoy reading about them? Well, you’re in luck! The Cat-Faced Cat is one of the cutest children’s books you will find…about cats! It has cute graphics and a hidden message about family, love and finding a home.
This wild, heartwarming adventure follows the Cat-Faced Cat, who starts life alone, wanting to find a family of his own. He finds different places to sleep, new toys and eventually a new friend; but in this case, not everything is permanent. All the Cat-Faced Cat wants is a new family and, when you read the book, you will answer the main question: does the Cat-Faced Cat ever find a place to call “home?”
The elements I love most about this book are the graphics. The cats are absolutely adorable and, even though there isn’t much detail in the drawings, it makes it so much better for younger children who read this. The people also have simple facial expressions, which helps clarify things for the reader. The only shortcoming for me is the lack of rhyming or alliteration. There are small segments of the book where it does rhyme, but the majority of the book does not, so the “younger child” in me missed that. Other than that, what I like about this story is that it promotes perseverance and the importance of family, human or not.
The message of The Cat-Faced Cat is that, at one point in life, you will find people that are like family to you, blood related or not. This book proves this because at the end, the struggling, lonely cat finally finds a place, and a family, to call home.
I give The Cat-Faced Cat 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 5. By Ari P., KIDS FIRST!
