Little Susie Bipp has lots of money. She gets everything she wants. She lives in the town of Inskip. To keep herself occupied she has dolls, and a swing made from an old tire. Susie has marbles, games and lots of other shiny things. She has one bed for leaping and one just for sleeping. Little Susie Bipp even has a few pets. She has goldfish, a goat, a red duck, a squirrel that wears pearls and a little green mouse. Even with all of that, little Susie wants more.
You see, Susie has a neighbor named Mrs. Payne. Now here is where the story gets real interesting, Mrs. Payne has a cat named Simon. He is a sweet little kitty who loves Mrs. Payne. Simon is an ordinary cat who has curly whiskers and long black hair. He purrs and loves to look up at the sky and listen to the birds sing. One day, on her way home from school, Susie spots Simon chasing her little green mouse.
Now, Susie doesn't have a cute little kitty cat. Simon soon becomes her newest obsession. Susie tries everything to make Simon her own. Money, disguises and tricks don't seem to work. How will Susie ever make Simon her own? Does Susie have the right to snatch that cat that doesn't belong to her? You'll have to read this hilarious adventure to see.
Buttram has done an excellent job of creating a story of a spoiled little girl who wants everything in sight. Kids aged 5-9 will be tickled at Susie's efforts to snatch that cat. Children will root for Simon in the hopes that he doesn't fall pray to this spoiled little girls tricks. Parents and teachers will be able to open up dialogue with young readers in regards to wanting things they don't need along with leaving other peoples belongings alone. Colorful digital illustrations will have kids laughing at the characters and wondering if they will ever get a good look at Susie. The sing song rhyme make this story a really fun read for kids.

Here is one that I enjoyed reading. I think it will be a great read me a story before bedtime book. It has the length children crave while not being too mundane for parents to get through. Back in 1997, author Larry Buttram was playing a game with his three-year-old niece, Lauren, when she said “Uncle Larry, I think someone should invent a game called, Snatch That Cat all about a little girl trying to steal a cat. Fifteen years later Snatch That Cat is here. I love that this lil girl who always gets her way learns that is not always best. More so I agree that some cats are part mountain lion and part alligator.

April 18, 2012This was a cute story that has great illustrations and a funny plot. I shared this with my daughters and they simply loved it! I have to say that this book also helps a parent talk to their children about what is theirs and what is not as the girl in this book learns her lesson the hard way. The story was light and family oriented and any child will enjoy the rhythm and cadence of the story as they go through it (I know mine did). At the end of the story, do not be surprised if you hear your own children stating "read it again please"

A good lesson to learn, Snatch That Cat teaches it with a bit of humor and some really fun illustrations. Hey, how many cats do you know that have a mountain lion for a mother and an alligator for a father? ;) This book is geared more towards the 4-7 range, it is a little longer with some bigger words and plenty of rhymes.
