Part of Steve Henry's Happy Cat series on the I Can Read label， this book shows the Cat as the epitome of kids lit cool。 He hangs in an apartment where the parrot does painting by watercolor， the elephant grows flowers in little pots， and the dog is the homebody who likes reading the paper。 Cat goes out to market， to a music shop， and buys a nice trumpet to play at his house （the book won't show it， but ten bucks the Cat can blow like Dizzy Gillespurr！）。 He heads to the grocery to get food goodi Part of Steve Henry's Happy Cat series on the I Can Read label， this book shows the Cat as the epitome of kids lit cool。 He hangs in an apartment where the parrot does painting by watercolor， the elephant grows flowers in little pots， and the dog is the homebody who likes reading the paper。 Cat goes out to market， to a music shop， and buys a nice trumpet to play at his house （the book won't show it， but ten bucks the Cat can blow like Dizzy Gillespurr！）。 He heads to the grocery to get food goodies for himself and his friends。 （No Cat Chow。 But it will be a "fancy feast"！ Cat has good taste that's easy to recognize！） The book is written in a See Spot Run style， but it is a charming and sweet read and kids will love the artwork。 Happy Cat is a horn player who toots his own "meow mix！"Three starsHappy Cat Rocks wit' CHOW！！！ 。。。more

September 2019 - a touch more challenging than Happy Cat， but still easy enough for Ben to recognize a lot of sight words and decode some new ones with help （which he's starting to do！） Lots of repetition， and fun illustrations that extend the story。 September 2019 - a touch more challenging than Happy Cat， but still easy enough for Ben to recognize a lot of sight words and decode some new ones with help （which he's starting to do！） Lots of repetition， and fun illustrations that extend the story。 。。。more

Beginning reader。 Fun illustrations。

Cat goes in and out and in and out of stores buying so many things。 He delivers all the gifts to his friends and everyone is content。 As great as it is that Cat is so giving， this consumerism for its own sake is not the best lesson to be teaching。 That aside， the early reader has many great discussable illustrations to help early readers enrich understanding and have lively conversation as they read aloud。

Simple tale told in simple words and bold illustrations about how Cat keeps his friends happy！

Picture book PK-K。 Busy illustrations with about three words on every page， so not a lot to this book。 Good for early readers only。

Lots to explore in the illustrations。 The story makes a few leaps that I'm not sure its intended audience will pick up on。 Lots to explore in the illustrations。 The story makes a few leaps that I'm not sure its intended audience will pick up on。 。。。more

This was a promising I Like to Read title that began as a repetitive pattern read for young readers and lost its way。 Cat decides to go out， as he descends the stairs of his apartment building we see all of his neighbors enjoying different activities。 When Cat gets to the street the repetitive pattern for the first two shops are "He saw。。。"， "He went in。" （here he purchases something）， and "Cat went out。" for the next three shops the author omits what Cat "saw"， breaking the pattern that young r This was a promising I Like to Read title that began as a repetitive pattern read for young readers and lost its way。 Cat decides to go out， as he descends the stairs of his apartment building we see all of his neighbors enjoying different activities。 When Cat gets to the street the repetitive pattern for the first two shops are "He saw。。。"， "He went in。" （here he purchases something）， and "Cat went out。" for the next three shops the author omits what Cat "saw"， breaking the pattern that young readers enjoy and benefit from when reading longer text。 The story allows for many predictions as to why Cat is making different purchases。 The illustrations are bold， but they are too colorful and take up most of each spread， making it hard for young readers to spot where the text is。 。。。more

This story as great illustrations but I'm not sure what it's trying to get across。 The whole story was about a cat going out and buying thing。 It's a cute story but not really anything for the classroom。 This story as great illustrations but I'm not sure what it's trying to get across。 The whole story was about a cat going out and buying thing。 It's a cute story but not really anything for the classroom。 。。。more

An I Like to Read book whose illustrations will surprise readers every time。 This book is perfect for beginning readers （PreK-K）。 The simple text and colorful illustrations will help build confidence while reading a “real” book。 Readers will find themselves making predictions about which friend cat is buying each item for。 I can’t wait to share this book with the kindergarten teachers at my school。

Reminds me of a trip to Walmart or Target。 You go in for one purchase and come out with so many others。。。 and almost forget to buy what you first went in there for！

Using only 20 different words， this "I Like to Read" book tells a story of friendship。 Cat heads out to shop for himself， but he ends up bringing back gifts for his various friends who live in the nearby apartments。 Young readers will enjoy the watercolor， gouache ink， and brown craft paper illustrations that completely fill the pages。 This is an ideal book to help readers practice their reading and build fluency。 Using only 20 different words， this "I Like to Read" book tells a story of friendship。 Cat heads out to shop for himself， but he ends up bringing back gifts for his various friends who live in the nearby apartments。 Young readers will enjoy the watercolor， gouache ink， and brown craft paper illustrations that completely fill the pages。 This is an ideal book to help readers practice their reading and build fluency。 。。。more

Cat lives in an apartment house in the city。 One day he goes down the stairs， then out， then into many stores where he makes a variety of purchases。 It turns out that each suits a neighbor， and only one is for Cat。 This book's pages are filled with details that will have young readers carefully poring over each and every brightly-colored eye-magnet。 The gentle， simple text is ideal for beginning readers， and its liberal use of out， in， up， and down， will make it a favorite with preschool teacher Cat lives in an apartment house in the city。 One day he goes down the stairs， then out， then into many stores where he makes a variety of purchases。 It turns out that each suits a neighbor， and only one is for Cat。 This book's pages are filled with details that will have young readers carefully poring over each and every brightly-colored eye-magnet。 The gentle， simple text is ideal for beginning readers， and its liberal use of out， in， up， and down， will make it a favorite with preschool teachers。 A true delight。 。。。more
