It was ok. It didn't have much of a point and the illustrations weren't my favorite. It wasn't silly but it didn't have a message, either, so that's why I wasn't super impressed.

Simon the cat goes to work with his person, who is the star of a Broadway show. Havoc ensues when he escapes to roam the theater and have a few escapades of his own! I am always on the look out for cute books for showers, birthday presents or to fill a Christmas stocking, and this fits the bill. It’s a simple introduction to the workings of the theater using a runaway cat as the guide. The writing is simple and fun and can be expanded to answer the questions of older kids or simplified even further for the younger set. I’m not sure even who could resist these adorable illustrations! I certainly couldn’t. Recommended.

Although you have to worry about a Broadway star who brings her cat with her to performances. Cheno, you're eccentric enough as it is - don't get any ideas!
