Review: Nice children's book

Since this is a book written for children, I thought I should include some input from children.First, I read this book with my three year old niece. She enjoyed the pictures, particularly the ones where the kitten was hiding.She had this to say:"Did you like that book?" "That was a good book.""Isn't that cat orange like your cat?" "Yeah.""Does your cat like to pounce like the cat in the book?" "No. He hides under my bed."Although she knows how to read maybe 30 words, the words used in this book were mostly ones she didn't know.Later I read this with my five year old nephew. He liked the book as well. He could read most of the words.Three things I did notice that could be fixed: At one point the book uses "alot" when it should be "a lot". Another small issue is that sometimes the white text would go over a light color and would be harder to read. Having a stroke around the text to make it stand out more in those situations might help. The book also re-uses a few of the images, although that wasn't a big deal.The pictures are very simplistic but cute. It's about what you would expect in a children's book and both kids enjoyed it.Note: The author has told me that the "alot" typo has been fixed.
