Book Review
Remember your child's first school day? It took a whole bunch of patience (parent's side) and a mountain high of courage (from child's side) to make it a go.
Children are always restless about school first day. How’s the teacher? How’s the class? And furthermore, will I make new friends?
Some children make excuses not to go to school, like Splat does. Playing sick or cannot find the right clothes are the most excuses they make

Splat the Cat is an unusually amusing book. The illustration, that I have to bring up first, is irresistibly adorable. I just can't help myself not to touch (or feel) it. Splat was so anxious with the uncertainty of school first day. He needs every single thing that comforts him, Mom's big hug and the accompany of an old-buddy. Rob Scotton ingeniously presents Mrs. Wimpydimple, the name that spreads out school's warmth, a loving motherly teacher. Last but not least, is Seymour. The little mouse successfully made me laugh to see how happy he is to be able to scare and chase back the cats.

I can see many kids will love Splat as they share the same feeling (Splat feels what they feel). This book can help you showing your children that school is not as horrible as they thought. 
School is cool. School is fun. They’ll learn many new lessons, get smarter everyday and have terrific friends. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

As Reading Literature
The story is written in short and simple sentences. But the whimsical illustration make it speaks the story louder than the text itself. Your children will understand the story easily. Superb. I love this book very much.
