My Cat, the Silliest Cat in the World Book Review

My Cat, The Silliest Cat in the World written and illustrated by Gilles Bachelet

An owner tells you all about his very strange cat that happens to look a lot like an elephant

I’m not a huge fan of the illustrations. In fact, I think the elephant is actually ugly.  But it is still the pictures that make the story, as they should in any good picture book.  The owner of this strange ‘cat’ describes his behavior as you see him perform perfectly ordinary cat activities.  So you see his ‘cat’ sleeping on top of the TV (Remember when TVs were deep enough for cats to do that?), licking himself clean, and using the litter box (this, of course, is the Monkeys’ favorite page.) All while the owner in completely convinced that this huge grey animal with a trunk is a cat.  It’s sure to get giggles from most kids.  It sure got a lot of laughs from the Monkey.  And if you ever want to know what an 8-year-old will think of a book, just hand it to us.
