Reviews

[Mischenko · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a super simple rhyming read for young readers with beautiful, colorful illustrations. It's all about trick-or-treating cats causing trouble. There isn't much of a story, but we still enjoy reading this one every year. 

[Melissa Namba · Rating 4 out of 5]

A surprisingly long book, but with an appropriate word to picture ratio for toddlers. An older child could probably memorize it and "read" it to another.

A fantastic read in French.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful rhythm and rhyme, plus repetition of a stanza make this a picture book that is perfect for reading out loud. Three stanzas, which include one line for each character allow the same cat characters to appear with different actions.

I like the little ballerinas because I want to be a ballerina for Halloween. I so like it because of the witches.
