Cats are Cats by Valeri Gorbachev -- ADVISABLE

Gorbachev, Valeri Cats Are Cats. PICTURE BOOK. Holiday House, 2014. $16.95. Content: G.

When Miss Bell adopts a new kitten, he turns out to be a tiger. No problem. After all, cats are cats...right? This is an absurdly hilarious tale that will likely elicit a few giggles from young readers. It would be particularly well-suited to a read-aloud or to a lesson on predictions -- especially when it comes to the twist at the end. I do wish the illustrations were a little more appealing, however.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
