In the morning, everyone knows where Tippy Toes the cat is. Even the mouse is aware Tippy Toes is right outside his mouse hole. But once night falls, Tippy Toes sneaks around, blending in. In fact, only one person knows where Tippy Toes disappears to late at night, but readers are invited to find out! A very child-friendly format with cut-outs on the heavy pages that will have children engaged immediately, this book is sure to be enjoyed by fans of Spot.

An adorable new picture book by the wonderful Betsy Lewin of Click Clack Moo fame. This book is told in rhyming couplets, and with its extra thick pages and cut outs it's perfect for very young children (toddlers and preschoolers. I loved the colorful artwork, with its vibrant black outlines, which capture the curiosity and personality of Tippy Toes the cat.

Tippy Toes is your typical cat, sneaking around sometimes being naughty, sometimes being nice. Tippy Toes is in the garden being sprayed by the hose, now he's sneaking around at night, next he's looking for a drawer to curl up in. As Tippy Toes journey through his day, you'll go with him turning the heavy cut out pages that make this book a winner for younger readers. At the end of the book, you'll find that this is a good bedtime book just as the kids are starting to wind down.

The pictures are great. I read this to a group of 3/4 year olds and I had to paraphrase a bit because the prose wasn't very lyrical. I saw no benefit to the name Tippy Toes, which when repeated through out the book just didn;t make sense. If you are going to name your main character a strange and unusual name then you need to explain why. This book is probably a lot more on point for 2-2.5 year olds.

I used this in storytime and it was a big hit. The kids loved the illustrations and the cuttouts are great. It's a great book for guessing and question and answer.

Shared this with 2 & 3 year olds in storytime and had fun building anticipation with the flaps. Presents opportunity for predictions and question/answer as well.

Would be an excellent read aloud to toddlers with the see-through-the-hole pages.
