Title: Have You Seen My Cat? by Eric Carle ISBN: 0-689-81731-2 Publisher: Aladdin Pub. Date: 01 September, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.99 |

Rating: 5
Summary: great choice for very young children
Comment: I think it is a mistake is to include this in a category of books for 4-8 year olds. I read this to my son when he was an infant until he was 18 mo. or so. He loved predicting the ending, and I have happy memories of reading this book to him and seeing the smile on his face when we found the cat at the end. I wouldn't dream of reading this to him now that he is 5.

Summary: Out of hundreds of books, this is my child's favorite!!
Comment: This is one of the most engaging childrens' books I've ever read! I checked it out of the library for my 2 year old daughter and I am here to buy it for her. She wants to read it several times a day! We like to add to it by saying, "Mr. Cowboy, have YOU seen my cat? That's not my cat..that's a BOBCAT!" My daughter squeals in laughter and it is teaching her animals and different types of people as well. I highly recommend it...along with ALL of Eric Carle's books. You can't go wrong.

Summary: Not the Usual Eric Carle
Comment: This book misses the mark. Here's all the words in the book "Have you seen my cat", "this is not my cat", "this is my cat". While I agree repetition is good, the fact that there are no OTHER words to describe the different scenes in the book is a huge annoyance and my 18mos daughter seems bored with it too.
One reviewer wrote that they add to the phrase "this is not my cat" the type of cat they see. Well, I think that's exactly what Eric Carle should have done and didn't: "this is a bobacat. this is not my cat". That way, children learn different animal names, but still get repetition of language. Honestly, some of the pictures are a little hard to distinguish...I doubt a toddler figure out the difference between a cheetah and a panther without some type of indication in the book.
Here's my suggestion: take the 3 phrases listed above and come up with your own story and skip buying the book. Spend your money on "The Hungry Caterpillar".
