This book about opposites, which introduces a quirky cast of bug-eyed cats, asks readers to supply missing words to complete rhyming sequences (“This cat is dirty/ This cat is clean/ This cat is nice/ This cat is...”). There are some odd juxtapositions and several of the felines have decidedly off-putting appearances, including a “bad” cat with flames blasting out of its ears. But the rhyme schemes and artwork make the missing words clear on each spread, and kids should enjoy filling (or shouting) in the answers. Ages 2–5.

PreS-KFull spreads depict quartets of cats, illustrating opposites. Residing among pastel-hued, flowered hills, these cartoon felines vary in form, fur texture, and color. The drawings occasionally go garish, as in the case of the nose-dripping cat with a cold, or the devilish "bad" cat. Using an ABCA rhyme scheme, the simple sentences may make this book useful as an early reader. However, occasionally the awkward translation breaks the familiar pace: "This cat is young/this cat has reached old age. This cat is on the moon/this cat is in a cage." The bright cover will attract readers, but they might not find fulfillment within."Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA"

Preschool-G Kids who love cats will enjoy seeing them in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, and demeanors. Translated from the Hebrew, this book, with an appealing horizontal format, also has a cute guessing game attached to it. Implied rhymes couplets introduce the kitties: This cat is dirty / This cat is clean / This cat is nice / This cat is . . . The felines sharp teeth and claws, along with the ferocious look its giving the nice cat, should be enough to help children to the word mean. Each two-page spread, in pure, Popsicle colors, features four felines, the rhyme, and the question. The cats have a computer-generated look, and most are googly-eyed, but the above-mentioned variations singularize them and give them appeal. Whether used as a simple read-aloud, a game, or an introduction to the concept of opposites, this should please many little ones.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
