Drat That Fat Cat!

If you want a new rollicking read-aloud for young children, try this cumulative tale! With tones of 'There was an Old Lady who swallowed a Fly', That Fat Cat eats anyone or thing but this still fails to provide him with a hearty meal. Children will love the repetitive language; 'But was that cat fat enough? NO, HE WAS NOT!'... the latter in huge font. Inside the fat cat can be heard 'Drat that fat cat! Woof! Woof! Woof! Quack! Quack! Quack! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!' as another creature, pictured on the cover, enters both the story ... and the cat. There's a noisy resolution with which children can join with gusto. The illustrations are big and bold, the swathes of strong primary colours vibrating with fuchsia pink and brilliant orange. With strong artwork, rhythmic text and varying sentence length, this is a book children will love to tackle themselves as well as enjoy for story time.
