20 shorter reads for teenagers 17/03/25
I'm Cat
Publisher: Walker Books
In this very simple, four-page board book, a collaged orange cat with bright yellow and green eyes climbs a tree, leaps off a branch, chasing a red leaf, then pounces on it on the ground. Finally, the exhausted cat takes a nap after all its play.
The autumnal colours in this clever yet simple board book (shaped like a cat’s head, with ears) are full of warmth, making this a perfect book to share with babies.
The board pages are tough, able to withstand chewing and bending from little mouths and teeth, and despite there being only 11 words in the book, they include interesting and different words that are all part of vocabulary building and noise making.
