This is the best alphabet book I have read in ages, maybe even forever. A cat runs away from home and ends up having madcap adventures. It’s wordless with nothing but the letters and brilliant illustrations to help readers figure the story out. I’m definitely getting a copy of this to add to my collection.

An ABC book with a story. It also has few words, which makes it nice for beginning readers. I don't know that I love it as much as the review journals, but it is pretty good.

Cute concept, awful for storytime. I thought it would be fun to guess as we went along, but I don't think the kids got much out of it.

When the little red cat heads outside, he discovers a world of surprises and dangers that follow the ABCs. Readers will have to puzzle out what matches each letter along the way (though there is a key in the back of the book to help if you get stuck.) With a merry chase throughout the book, it has the feel of a Gingerbread Boy gallop across the pages. The book is wordless, offering only the letters along the way, providing a visual treat as the cat is joined by an alligator, a bear, a chicken, a dragon and an egg on his adventure through the alphabet. Filled with moments of humor, like the stop at the rest room for R and the lovely use of N and O, this picture book is a delight of an alphabet book that is great fun to share. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
