Flashlight Press That Cat Cant Stay
Book SynopsisMum keeps adopting stray cats, and Dad's objections get more and more absurd. Clever Mum convinces Dad to let each cat stay for a short time, and once they are comfy in the house, they never leave. One stray, then two, then three, and Dad is at his wit's end. When stray cat number five moves in, Dad finally takes a surprising stand.Trade Review"This light comedy . . . spotlight[s] family dynamics. Energetic rhymed couplets relay how Mom and kids repeatedly bring home stray cats, driving Dad crazy . . . spirited cartoons depict animals and humans with amusingly exaggerated facial expressions . . . The buffoonlike father's antics should prove kid-pleasing." -- Publishers Weekly"This book expertly combines a comic, rhyming text with hilarious cartoon illustrations to create a completely enjoyable romp." --School Library Journal" That Cat Can't Stay [is] an absolutely adorable book and exactly how the Viorsts once wound up with four cats." --Judith Viorst"Parkins visualizes this comic opera with cartoon-like pen and ink and watercolor illustrations of cartoon-like characters displaying exaggerated behavior. Dad in particular is portrayed in lively vignettes." -- Children's Literature"He may rant and rave, but ultimately this softhearted dad lets the strays stay. David Parkins' hilariously detailed pictures add to the fun and the surprise ending." --Baltimore's Child"This is a funny book with a riotous rhyming text and illustrations . . . that seem to leap right off the glossy white pages in visual hyperbole. It makes a great read-aloud. In fact, once you've read it, you'll long for the chance to share it orally. Even if you don't like cats this book will tickle you." -- Puget Sound Council"This is a rhyming picture book about our love affair with animals--a book for reading together, but it easily opens discussions about what we like/dislike, getting along, flexibility, and being open to change." --The Reading Tub.com"The rollicking rhyming tale with its comical pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations is an enjoyable read-aloud for pet lovers." -- Horn Book"This book expertly combines a comic, rhyming text with hilarious cartoon illustrations to create a completely enjoyable romp." --School Library Journal
