Calling all cat enthusiasts! C is for Cat isn’t just another alphabet book—it’s a whisker-twitching intro to feline friends. Imagine a tabby kitten batting yarn while teaching the “kuh” sound for words like “claws” or “curious.” The art? Think bold, cartoonish close-ups of fluffy Persians and sleek Siamese, plus a hilarious spread of a cat mid-sneeze (bless you, Mr. Whiskers!).

Fun trivia: Cats star in tons of kid-lit classics. Remember Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot? That’s the poetry collection that inspired Cats the musical! While C is for Cat skips the jazz paws, it nails kid-friendly basics—like why cats hate water or love cardboard boxes.

The book keeps it bite-sized. One page shows a cat’s rough tongue grooming fur (cue kids going “eww!”), while another lists quirky breed traits. Tiny nitpick? It misses a chance to compare cats to dogs—a classic debate! But no biggie.

Pair this with Brendan Wenzel’s They All Saw a Cat for a deeper dive into perspectives. Oh, and heads up: Some libraries host “Purr & Read” events where kids read to shelter cats. Bring treats (for the cats, not the kids).
