[.ca] Supercat (ISBN 0761126449)

Wonderful illustrations and adorable story:
The illustrations in this book are just fabulous! They are intricate - the more you look, the more things you find. They carry story characters, even the smallest little characters (and there are several) from frame to frame, page to page. It is great fun to visually follow all of the characters through the story. Plus, the written story is wonderful. This is the kind of book that you buy for yourself but end up giving copies to family and friends, because you want THEM to enjoy the feeling of discovery that you felt when first viewing the book. This is one of the more uniquely written and illustrated board books you will ever see.

Supercat Saves The Day:
"Supercat" is an action-packed book solving common toddler/parent dilemmas in a comical and humorous way. Looking for blankie, the struggle to put on pajamas and unexplained crying are each situations parents are all too familiar with. Supercat will definately save your day. Supercat lives beyond the pages of this book. I apply his enthusiasm and creative tactics to my parenting style each day. Supercat's super tickle strategy is my favorite. We love the the jingle at the end and can't wait for the sequel.

Super, Super, Super!:
I gave this book as a gift to a 2-year-old and he is totally obsessed with it. He has to know where the book is at all times, and his mother informed me she has had to put a "three times" limit on the number of readings per sitting because as soon as she finishes it, he says "Again!" The charming, colorful illustrations full of wonderful, humorous details really hold his attention. He has also taken to calling a nap a "Super nap" (just like Supercat does). Delightful text and comic book style design make this a super gift. Bravo, Supercat!

Something Magical:
There is something magical about "Supercat". It appears to be a simple board book but the style, colors, and story speak directly to children. The artist and author have struck a perfect chord that children want to hear again and again. My children are captivated. Although I have memorized the book by rote, the beautiful details of the artwork keep each read enjoyable. As any parent will tell you, it isn't the first read that is important, but the 400th. The last page promises, " To be continued..." my children and I are waiting!

My new favorite baby book:
I received 4 copies of Goodnight Moon, but recommend Supercat as MY new favorite gift book. Very fun and original. Can't wait to get the 2nd book!
