Cute picture book about what is the same and different between a house cat and big cats. It kept my 4 year old engaged throughout.

Cat comes along and proclaims that he is a cat like the big cats. They compare each other and find differences as well as similarities. Big cats include Lion, Cheetah, Puma, Panther, and Tiger.

Simon must prove to the big cats that he's just like them. I really enjoyed this book and thought it had some fun facts about cats, big and small!

It left me thinking... Bobcats don't have long tails.

Super cute! A fun way to teach kids about different cats, but also how they're from the same family. Simon reminds me of my cat, Indy. Illustrations are really cute, too.

Simon is most put out when he meets a bunch of big cats who all insist he can't possibly be a cat too. They point out how he's different from them. Simon is a smart kitty though, and makes them see how they are all very similar. Will he convince them?

Beautiful illustrations, and I love the underlying message which is conveyed with a gentle touch.

A house cat defends their status as a cat, even in the face of the big cats laughing at them for not being a "real" cat. Readers will enjoy the discussion of cat characteristics, the analysis of facts, and expressive illustrations. Very cute.

For: cat fans; readers looking for a book about inclusion and acceptance.

Possible red flags: feeling left out.
