Oh my goodness! Cats Don’t Like Christmas is the BEST Christmas children’s book I’ve read in years! It was so much fun and any cat lover and owner will tell you how true it all is!!
My daughter and I absolutely loved reading this together and we will be picking up a copy of the book to add to our holiday collection this year! ❤️

I love this book, and I know kids will too! Every cat owner knows what chaos Christmas decorations can bring! In this story, told from the cat's perspective, the humans are the problem, they brought all this new stuff in and expect him not to climb the tree? With large but expressive font choices will draw the reader in and with only a few short, rhyming lines per page it will be relatively easy for young readers to read independently. The illustrations are great and the writing is funny and really well done! I would definitely consider purchasing a copy for my classroom library and will be recommending this one for readers in the age 4-8 range! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this fun book!

An absolutely delightful, Christmassy read for cat fans! Full of attractive, engaging pictures and a humourous, rhyming story this would be a lovely addition to any young readers (3+) collection. The story is super cute and the detailled pictures mean this book just begs to be reread time and again. I can see this becoming a firm favourite in many feline friendly homes this festive season!
Thanks to NetGalley.co.uk and Splash Books for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was really fun. The book lists in a singsong rhyming pattern the reason cats don’t like trees. They even ask for forgiveness for climbing Christmas trees but remind you - YOU want it inside. This would be a book that I would bring out every holiday because it’s fun, it’s festive, and it really makes me think about my animals and what they make of the Christmas craziness.

3.5/5
This is a very cute and funny book about cats and their antics around Christmastime! I definitely had a good chuckle at the sassy poem and it is very festive. It's also a unique Christmas story that explores how Christmastime can be a bit irritating as well as exciting, especially for the felines in our families. I also really liked how there was a hidden game of finding a mouse and yarn on each page. The illustrations were fantastic and bright - I think this book would be well enjoyed by younger readers.
The only reason my review isn't higher is because the book jumps from cats not liking Christmas to all of a sudden loving it without any clear reason as to why. I would have preferred it if there was a page or two with the cat reluctantly realizing that Christmas isn't so bad, because the resolution is quite sudden.

This feline-tastic book is an adorable and hilarious picture book detailing all of the annoyances cats face during a busy family Christmas. Each page features a clever rhyme and is beautifully illustrative of the narration, full of wit and charm!
As a mega cat lover, I feel like there is also an important tale to tell here: with compassion and empathy, we can enjoy Christmas while not pestering our pets too much, if only our family and guests let them have adequate quiet time in addition to love, and affection.
Make sure to read until the end because every page features a hidden mouse! Enjoy finding these together with your little ones (or, in my case, my cat Olivia who was eager to spot them!).
Highly recommended! Purrfect for kids and adults (and cats!), too!
