A cat can get tangled up in all kinds of fun and mischief between wake-up time and nap time. Follow along with the playful text as Cat laps up milk, messes up the house, gets up to no good, stands up to a visiting dog, and finally curls up for a nap in the sun. The expressive, energetic illustrations against simple backgrounds mirror the spare but rhythmic text that teaches about "up" actions while leading the reader through a day in the life of a cat. Together with Up Dog, this board book will soon be a favorite of toddlers and preschoolers who adore animals.
This is a great little board book! Or at least I imagine it is. In reading this through ADE, the pages are full of fun color and just enough words that I'm quite certain AppleBlossom would be quoting this herself almost automatically. What a cute kitty full of mischief! Full of rhythm and directions, this is even educational too.
