I Can Read Book: Splat the Cat Makes Dad Glad

This is a story based on the characters of Rob Scotton.  It is difficult to attribute the author, but is an Harper Collins book copyrighted 2014.  It tells the story of Splat trying to cheer up his dad after his dad loses a soccer game.  Splat enters them in a games day, hoping to win the three-legged race.  They don't, but they have a lot of fun.  I would say the theme is sometimes spending time together is more important than always being the best.

Picture Book Review: Scaredy-cat, Splat!

Scaredy-cat, Splat!  by Rob Scotton, Harper, New York, 2010.

This is a first for this blog, the review of a picture book.  In this case the author also did the pictures  He points out that this is the fourth of his "Splat" books.  This one has a Halloween theme.  Splat, is a cat, and his illustration is really crazy.  I love his hair.  He is a black cat.  This story is about how Spla,t scared of even a tiny spider, can become the scariest of all the cats in school.  How this happens is really rather funny, because to be honest, Splat's costumes are sort of lame.  

I read this to Tony--who is beyond the picture book stage, but we enjoyed it all the same.  There must be some grandbaby who would love this one.
