This is a fun, short story about a cat named Jingles who seems to keep getting into mischief. Jingles trashes the tree and decorations while the family is left to deal with it. I was glad the family were understanding with Jingles and not overly aggressive, although they did still get angry. I have to wonder why the family would leave the house with a turkey sitting on the table. I mean, if that isn't an open invitation for Jingles to dig in, I don't know what is! This is a cute story, but doesn

I loved the theme this book detailed throughout involving a very close knit family, a 'naughty' cat, and what Christmas day really means even if all does not go well. A great teaching lesson for children and adults as well.
I give 5 stars to most children's books because the majority teach life lessons we all need to learn and adhere to. I highly recommend this one. ...more

This is a fun read for a Christmas library, especially if the family has a cat. Cats are known to wreak havoc with Christmas trees, and Jingles is no slouch. When the family goes to sleep, he climbs the tree, ruins the decorations and somehow, even opens the presents. When he is left home alone with the turkey settling on the counter, he is enticed by the smells. Once again, cats can jump and when the family returns home with grandma, the turkey is pretty well gone. When he disappears, the famil

I would like to thank NetGalley and RP Kids for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
So, I was browsing for more books on NetGalley again and I stumbled upon a children’s book that had a pretty interesting title, which was called “The Cat Who Ate Christmas” which is written by Lil Chase along with artwork by Thomas Docherty and of course, I had to pick this book up for the title alone!

The Cat Who Ate Christmas is a cute Christmas story for children. I would give this Christmas children’s book by Lil Chase 4 stars. I read it to my 3 and almost 5 year old daughters who LOOOOVE all things Christmas. I think an older age group would be a bit more appropriate for this story, my three year olds attention began to wane about 1/3 of the way through. My kids both got a kick out of the kids getting their teeth checked and having to brush again which is a common theme in our home.

The Cat Who Ate Christmas is a cute Christmas book with Jingles the mischievous cat as the main character. Jingles manages to ruin a Christmas tree, shred presents, and eat turkey intended for his human family. The deeper theme here is patience and forgiveness but children will love the Jingles antics. The drawings accompanying the book are amazing.
A cute story about Jingles, a mischievous cat who gets into quite a bit of trouble and almost ruins Christmas! While there wasn’t a whole lot of substance to the plot, it was still a quick read (or read-a-long) for the holiday season, especially for those families who have a pet cat and can likely relate to some of the crazy mischief. There’s no overarching lessons to be taught (although forgiveness for getting into trouble is certainly something to take away from this), it’s just a fun read! Th

Once in a while, one has to make time to read a children's book. It is a different sort of fun.
This book is about a li'l kitten, Jingles, that manages to get into things and places, it shouldn't. And eventually disappears, setting the family on a hunt to locate jingles. I loved how this is a family story, and of course the kitten itself. It is always great to read a book that reminds me of my own childhood reading.
Loved it.

This cat’s name needs to change from Jingles to Mayhem, he gets into some of the most mischievous situations ever, causing lots of trouble for Alex, Lily, Rose and yes even their parents too. He gets away with his naughty behavior cause they love him to bits. In my opinion, they need to take him to the cat whisperer, he needs some training or is it the family that needs the training, whatever, I find it annoying. This is an amusing and interesting fun read, that has educative fun facts at the b

I could sooo relate to this story! I have cats and for a long while, every Christmas, my tree ended up laying on the floor! No turkey at Christmas, but I have to fend off cats every Thanksgiving as I fix the bird (and the cats are SURE I am destroying it!). Cat owners and their kids will surely enjoy this tale of Jingles and his family! Illustrations were wonderful!
I received a Kindle Arc in exchange for a fair review from Netgalley.

This is a cute book about a very mischievous cat named Jingles. He is in a loving family but oh my, it is Christmas and there are a number of new things to get into!
I also have a cat who is a real challenge at Christmas so this was a fun read for me. Very cute and one I will read to my grandchildren. I read this for an honest review from Netgalley.

Really cute chapter book (I think?) about a naughty kitten who makes a mess at Christmastime, and the family who loves him. We've had cats who were like that in their kitten days.

A cat causes havoc at Christmas.
I thought this was a sweet story for children with reasonable illustrations.

The Hudson family is looking forward to enjoying their Christmas, but their curious cat, Jingles, is exploring Christmas just the way any feline might.

So, first it should be noted that I love cats, even cats who repeatedly topple Christmas trees and eat whole, cooked turkeys.
As such, I loved The Cat Who Ate Christmas. I wish this book had been around when my son was little because I imagine he would have cackled and grinned over the illustrations and the lost kitten, Jingles.
Jingles is, as one can guess, a naughty kitten. She knocks over the Christmas tree, rips and ruins beautifully wrapped gifts, and--as noted--eats a whole cooked turkey ( ...more

Jingles is a feisty kitten! Some of his favorite pastimes include climbing the Christmas tree and unwrapping his families’ Christmas gifts. Luckily for him, Jingles has a very loving and understanding family. Mom, Dad, Alex, Lily, and Rose all love him and are always quick to forgive his transgressions; that is until the day of Christmas dinner, when the family leaves the turkey to cool on the counter while they go to pick up grandma. Jingles cannot resist the delicious smell so he sniffs, leaps

This is a fun story set on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and features a kitten named Jingles that just keeps causing trouble! Any cat owner will identify with this book and the illustrations are great and will keep the kids entertained.
Though set at Christmas ( the story shows the children’s excitement of Christmas), the story can be read anytime. This is not a Christmas story, but a ‘real life’ story.

The Cat Who Ate Christmas is an adorable book about an ornery kitty who has just too much Christmas cheer. I love this book because it perfectly shows the experience of navigating the holidays with pets. Poor Jingles the cat just wants to explore the new house festivities, but not without making a mess. Any family with a cat (or pet in general) will enjoy adding this to their holiday collection. I know I look forward to adding it to ours! The illustrations beautifully pair with the story and the

This is a really cute story about a very naughty cat named Jingles. He causes a lot of problems at Christmas time for his family. Even though he is naughty, his human family loves him. The book has nice illustrations which will help young children visualize the funny actions of Jingles. The story shows how pets can act even during Christmas because it is their natural instinct. A recipe for cocoa and a special craft is included for children to make with family or friends.

Jingles the cat causes mayhem for his family in this delightful short children's book. Lily, Rose and Alex all look forward to Christmas but their crafty kitty knocks over the tree, scoffs the Christmas dinner and opens the presents! Naturally in turn, all the family are angry at his actions but still love him and so head off to buy him his favourite treats and track him down to bring him home again!
A short sweet book, with charming illustrations, everyone will fall in love with Jingles!

What is the most important thing about Christmas? Is it the tree and decorations? Is it the delicious food? What would make you most upset if it got destroyed?
Jingles is a small kitten but he is a part of the family. He has not yet learned how to behave.
When Jingles messes up the decorations he is supposed to stay closed safely in a bedroom, but someone didn't close the door tightly. Will Jingles get into more trouble?

The Cat Who Ate Christmas is an endearing children’s Christmas story starring a mischievous cat named Jingles who wreaks havoc with his family’s Christmas from presents to dinner and more.
With detailed pen and ink drawings and a flowing family tale, this is a very good new addition to Christmas story fare. I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to sharing it with my grandsons.
Pretty basic but kind of sweet story with fun illustrations that made an easy read aloud (finished it comfortably in one sitting). Kept my almost-8-year-olds attention. Not something I'd return to as a yearly classic, but was a nice quick read.

I thought this was a very cute story for Christmas time. It is not your traditional story but more like a real life story. I would read this with my 6 year old granddaughter.
Great beginning chapter book -engaging with clues in the illustrations. Good for the kid who is just gaining fluency but not quite there yet.
Illustration on every page and a text-filled story. I have never read anything quite like this (though there could probably a lot of other books like this).
Don't get me wrong-this is a wonderful fun story for kids in first and second grade. It just wasn't all that entertaining for an ++ old women.... ;)

Jingles is a naughty kitty. But what cat can resist all the lights and shiny Christmas stuff?
Cute story which had my son laughing out loud a lot, and I loved the illustrations.
