For parents

What Parents Should Know

The narrator speaks directly to Cat while Cat responds through visual jokes. That format makes the books good for participation: children can interpret a sign, notice a change in Cat's face, or explain why the narrator is not convinced.

Cat can be jealous, grumpy, competitive, or reluctant to help, but the humor never makes him cruel. Each story gives him a believable chance to be generous, revise a first impression, or discover that helping can be satisfying.
