I am a cat.
Are you a cat?
Cat is curious. There’s a new addition to the family, but who exactly is this small being? This new arrival doesn’t meow like a cat, or smell like a cat, or even have a tail like a cat. As Cat investigates, he might just come to appreciate this loud, silly family member. After all, they both enjoy a good catnap.
In Cat’s First Baby, the feline companion to Dog’s First Baby, Natalie Nelson captures the wonder and humour of a new family member through a cat’s eyes. Sure to delight kids and cat parents alike, this board book promises to be a repeat read-aloud.

I just love this book, which I have now read approximately 1,000 times because my daughter loves it the most of any of her books. Gorgeous illustrations and a sweet story. Have just bought the author’s other one to complete the set. Recommend!

Well isn’t this little book rather special. The first thing that strikes you are the incredible images. I love that they are a mixed media composition using a range of traditional and digital techniques. The images are bold and vivid yet with a warm, tender and familiar feel. There’s real depth to Natalie’s work and her images draw you in as a reader.
The text font and sentences are perfectly simple. The book is written from the perspective of the cat. It’s direct yet humorous. However, you get a joyous feeling of ‘to and fro’ in the dialogue as the cat sizes up the new baby that has arrived in their home.
It’s a highly recommend from me. The publishers, Quirk Books, give the reading age guide as 2-5 but I’d be happy to share this book from birth. My daughter who’s 5 thoroughly enjoyed it and liked that she was able to read the sentences herself.
