This is a delightful addition to Mr. Tate's collection of whimsical, vibrant picture books. If you're not yet a fan, you need to sample some of his magical concoctions and drink some serious chuckling. How do you exist in this fast-moving world without a moment with your child and a picture book? The answer is you don't. So, get this book. Particularly enchanting was how Mr. Tate captured the nature of kitty cats so perfectly. What house cat can resist laundered socks, warm from the dryer? So, what does Mabel the cat do when confronted with socks scattered all around. Of course, she puts one on her head, gets her tail hung up on another and some around her paws. What follows from socks on Mabel is a funny and unexpected ending. What human child, or parent can resist a picture book like this? You should give in and get this one. It's pure fun, for you and your child.
