What do our readers think of Cat's Cookbook? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy lifting the flaps, joining in with the rhymes and following cute Cat on her visit to the library, with some children asking to hear the story again and again. A few children find the story repetitive or very short, and some flaps can be tricky to handle without help.

We enjoy this cheerful lift-the-flap adventure, which combines Julia Donaldson’s lively rhymes with a gentle story about finding the right book, learning something new and sharing food with friends. The colourful surprises and repeated phrases make it especially inviting for toddlers, while the sturdy flaps encourage active participation; adults may need to help younger children handle them carefully.
