Fans of Splat the Cat will delight in this story about zoo animals and enjoy Splat’s always-present enthusiasm.
A silly little cat and his obsession with penguins.
I loved this book because Splat is so cute. He’s determined to see the penguins on the school trip, but he’s got to handle the sadness because he can’t see them. I liked how this taught the lesson that you can’t always get what you want, but it’s done in a funny way so it doesn’t feel preachy. I loved the little twist in the story, too. So worth the read.
The writing is fun and the pictures even better.
If you’re looking for a story about not always getting what you want and how to deal, then this might be the book for you and your young reader.
