rhyming book together with your child and watch them read/listen, think, ask,
then get up and move around so they can try all the different things a cat can

What's inside? An easy to read description of what a cat does every

Author:
“Jill Wright is the mother of 3 boys. She has been an avid crafter all
her life, having learned to knit and crochet at a very early age.
Jill is a published knit and crochet designer and has written 2
crafting books: Take The Fear Out Of
Cables (knit), and Victoriana
(crochet shawls). More recently she discovered she had a yearning to write
books for children.
Jill also builds websites, knits, crochets, and sews recycled items
for sale, and probably won't ever stop being a Jazzercise Instructor!”
Appraisal:
Can You
Do What A Cat Can Do?, is an engaging and interactive story where your
child can show off some skills or shake their head ‘no’ to proclaim they would
NEVER do THAT! The pictures are adorable enough to draw any child into the
book. There is really no story, only situations, actions, and questions.
The only problem I have with this book are proofing misses. The first
page introduction has a wrongly spelled two letter word. Check the ‘Look Inside’
feature on the Amazon product page. That is a really bad start, especially for
a print version of the book. Kindle files can be corrected easily enough.
I tried to read this book on my Kindle Paperwhite first. Trust me when
I say that is not the way to go. It can be done, but the gray tones don’t do the
book justice. I ended up using the Kindle app on my computer.

pleasure. There is also a Spanish version.
