Product Description
If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it. When you give him the sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor. Cleaning up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit . . . and that's just the beginning! The lovable cat who first appeared in If You Give a Pig a Party now has his very own book! Written in the tradition of the bestselling If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's newest story will show everyone that Cat is where it's at!

 I love this series December 3, 2008
When I was a child, one of my favorite little books was "If you gave a mouse a cookie...." To this day, I still have that book intact and in great condition. Kids will love this book. It's fun to read with little ones, and brings back memories. I actually purchased this for the Amazon Toy Drive for the Today Show, and I hope some child gets to enjoy this book as much as I did.

My granddaughter loved it! December 3, 2008
I bought this for my 4-year-old granddaughter, who describes her own cat as a "biting machine." Grandma would get rid of the cat if it were her choice. Anyway, the book is very cool; Reese and Grandma give it two thumbs up!
The Cat's Meow! December 1, 2008
This book is pure catnip for all cat lovers!
If you have never read one of children's books written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond, you have a treat ahead of you. This top team knows how to create fantasy, fun, and foolishness in just the right measures by letting . . . one thing lead to another in a wacky way. In the process, children begin to see life from an adult's perspective as treating a cat well leads to one demand and issue after another. It's a welcome way to cross the generational divide.
The cat first showed up in If You Give a Pig a Party. Perhaps the biggest surprise in this terrific series is that it didn't have a story featuring a cat before this one.
I'm sure that all cat lovers have missed a chance to see what indulging a cat can lead to. This story will tickle your whispers!
"If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it."
"When you give him some sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor."
"Cleaning him up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit."
and on the story goes as a little blond girl waits on her male cat who lives life like it's, well, the cat's pajamas!
The illustrations make this story rise above your everyday cat in the beach blanket book. Even something as simple as getting sand off becomes as active as watching the chorus line at Radio City Music Hall.
While some might prefer other books in the series, I think the illustrations make this story as good as any of the goofiest Numeroff/Bond outings.
Warm a pan of milk to share with your cat, make some hot chocolate, and enjoy!
 great book November 29, 2008
The book was sent almost overnite. When given as a birthday gift, Fia loved it and had us read it over and over. She just turned 4.
 Sweet but not as good. November 23, 2008

I did think that the illustrations were sweet and the concept was nice but it is did not flow well. In comparison to " If you give a Mouse a cookie" and " If you give a Pig a party " it does not meet my high expectations.
