Can We Keep It, Dad?

The 'It' of the title is revealed as a kitten on the front and back covers and title page of this 'Read Alone Book'. The story takes place over one week and is divided into chapters covering the morning and evening of each day. The pencil illustrations flow across each opening and the typeface of the text is clear and well laid out on the pages, encouraging beginner readers to engage with the visual and textual narratives. Allied to Clarke's ability to draw cats with attitude, the overall presentation is likely to extend the boundaries of the reading experience.
