CAT SKIDOO
by Bethany Roberts


A Best Children's Books of the Year, 2005
Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College of Education

Kittens in the garden -

one cat, two,

sniffing,

digging,

CAT SKIDOO!




Here are two happy reviews from May, 2004.

“Two mischievous kittens cavort around their yard and create hilarious havoc in this bouncy tribute to feline exuberance. ...Featuring plenty of white space and lending a sense of nonstorp motion, the art is filled with details of the felines’ antics.”
School Library Journal

“Alley’s expertise shines in the watercolor-and-ink illustrations. ...This will be best for sharing one-on-one or with small groups since many of the smiles and laughs are in the details.”
Kirkus Review

And from June, 2004.

"Detailed comic images feature two wide-eyed felines wreaking havoc. ...for the littlest readers the ride will be worth it."
