Our kindergarten-age grandson enjoys the humor of this book. You can judge that for yourself since you can "search inside this book". Good for beginning readers. This is a good investment to be passed on to younger siblings.
Now I can say how I feel! Actually, despite not liking the series all that much (aside from the over sized first book), my kids have always had an appreciation for Splat. This means I read his stories just about every other night, when personally I'd rather be reading something else to them. Whatever good I've done as a father, perhaps I am not as proud as I am at the restraint I've shown by reading these stories without telling my kids exactly how I feel about them. What are, for me, phoned in stories that miss the magic from the original tale, turn out to be comforting, and easy to follow books for my children. It's important for kids to like kid things, even when, as a father, I want to push them onto more challenging concepts and stories.Out of all the other Splat the Cat books (yes I have bought as many as I have been able to find), this book ranks quite low with my children. Despite the silliness of strangely named sea animals (cowfish for instance), my kids just haven't gotten into it. For me, I feel Splat is overly obnoxious, and annoying here. He knowingly misinforms his friends about these sea creatures all in the hopes of getting Kitten's attention. Of course in the end its all okay, because Kitten thinks his silliness is cute, when in actuality, Splat was just clamoring for the spotlight, and not thinking his actions through. I'm not quite sure how my children see it, but perhaps they too saw the selfishness in Splat here. Actually that might be a lesson worth teaching, and may make for some good after book discussions (hmm... maybe pop it up to 3 stars).As always, the illustrations are nice, and the price couldn't be better. Despite my family not loving it all that much this book might very well please your children, as many positive reviews can't all be wrong. Pick it up if you're trying to complete your collection, otherwise I personally recommend some of the other Splat books.
Love these books for their teaching quality, however, I have noticed, the author tries to over simplify, and it sometimes comes across in reading aloud as a fleeting thought...SQUIRREL!....sort of read. Still, my kids love them.
My grandson loves Splat the Cat books and is just learning how to read. I sent him all that I could find that he didn't already have. They are great now and for when he enters first grade. Highly recommend.
My four Grandchildren just love the Splat character and own many of the earlier books. This particular book has been taken over by the two youngest kids ages 6 and 9. They think it's funny and they want to reread it frequently and laugh each time as though it was the first time.
My son and I love splat the cat books and this is another fun addition to our collection. We both thought this was a cute and silly book. My son is really into aquarium life right now and would say "silly splat" after each page. the story made us smile!
Love these books. Twin grandsons who introduced me to them. We have the biggest time with this crazy cat. Lots of laughs. Now I buy for gifts for multiple kids.
Our 4-year-old son loves all the Splat the Cat books and got this one for his birthday. Can't even count how many times we've read it already.
