The expressions on these kittens are priceless as they scamper around their day. Repeated phrases, rhymes, and alliteration make this a great example of phonological awareness.

Cat Skidoo by Bethany Roberts and illustrated by R. W. Alley is a cute picture book about two enthusiastic kittens who are caught up in the chase of some birds. If you have cats, you know how hopped up cats dash around.

The book is a quick read and fun for anyone who likes cats. Some of the rhymes are a little awkward and sometimes the meter is off. Anyone reading out loud should probably practice the book first before reading for an audience.

What really makes this book a delight are the illustrations. R. W. Alley's kittens are adorable. They skitter around just as real cats in play do. Their exuberance takes them places they shouldn't go and it wears them out.
