Pat the Cat's Big Book by Colin Hawkins is a fantastic and fun poetry book! This book would be best for Kindergarten and maybe even first grade. This book could be used as part of a phonics lesson. The book uses the CVC pattern, so it would be easy to incorporate it into a phonics lesson including the pattern and rhyming words. It includes simple rhyming words including Pat, cat, fat, hat, rat, and many more. Pat the Cat's Big Book has large words and cute illustration; no concerning content is found in this book. The story is about a fat cat named Pat. The book tells of Pat's shenanigans with his friends such as Tat the Bat and Nat the Bat. The silly story and rhymes are perfect for keeping young children focused on the book. This book is fun and easily draws laughter among children. I would definitely recommend this one!
