The Horn Book Review
Too Many Cats
The Horn Book

A cellist's playing draws cats from around the city ("Black cat. / Gray cat. / Rich cat. / Stray cat"). The catchy rhymes and rhythmic pacing are effective in teaching simple (and some challenging--slinky, purry) vocabulary. Lively, colorful illustrations show the many different types of cats briefly described in the book. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Too Many Cats
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
Black cat. / Gray cat. / Rich cat. / Stray cat. begins the oh-so-familiar tale. Slinky cat. / Stinky cat. / Silly cat. / Chilly cat. A large font with only two to four words per page will ensure that the earliest readers can experience success in reading. As the text progresses, the cats hurry to a meeting place: All these cats, they like one thing. / All these cats, they like to . . . With a turn of the page, emergent readers will be rewarded with having predicted the next word: Sing. The vibrant illustrations have a coloring-book feel, but the cats are nevertheless adorable. Full of energy, the pictures add touches of conflict, like when the white cat stands in front of a freshly painted fence and becomes a green cat. A cellist practicing on a balcony has to compete with the yowling cats, but much to the musician's chagrin, one of the cats has the last word. This amusing addition to the Step into Reading series is sure to tickle readers' funny bones.--Austin, Patricia Copyright 2009 Booklist
