By
Cat the Cat, Who is That?
Written and illustrated by Mo Willems
Balzer & Bray, 2010. Unpaged. Easy reader.

Looking for a fun, easy reader for your beginning reader? Mo Willems to the rescue! Cat the Cat is a new Willems character for his latest easy reader series. Cat the Cat has lots of friends; Fish the Fish, Duck the Duck, Bee the Bee, etc. (are you catching on to the pattern here?). Just a few words on each page, excellent text to picture match, simple, basic illustrations that, though simple, convey a wide variety of action and emotion. There is a special appearance by the Pigeon! Absolutely great!

Look for Cat the Cat, Who is That? and the other two books in the series, Let's Say HI to Friends Who Fly! and What's Your Sound, Hound the Hound? in the Easy Reader section.
