Splat the Cat: On with the Show
After more than 20 stories—but who’s counting?—Splat the Cat shows no signs of slowing down. When Splat’s class performs the school play, Cinderpaws, Paw-Prints Charming gets a bad case of stage fright. Guess who steps in? Splat, of course, and his oversize costume ends up bringing down the house—literally. The wacky, vibrantly colored illustrations, similar to those you might see in a modern animated movie, push along the fast-paced tale while the authors’ punnery keeps things lively, right up to ensuring that Splat makes good on his name: “Then everything went tumbling . . . SPLAT!” More to come? Count on it. Preschool-Grade 1. --Julie Cummins
