From Publishers Weekly
Charlie Rascal is a large yellow tiger cat with a talent for intruding wherever he does not belong. The boy and girl who own him are are always hot on the trail of this lovably zany character and provide the first-person plural narration. "One day Charlie copied us and he went fishing too. We waved our arms and made a fussthat's not what cats should do. Turn the page and you'll find out why we had to wave and shout . . . No, No, Charlie Rascal!" Charlie Rascal, his pink tongue sticking out, swipes furtively in the fishbowl, startling both occupants. Whether he is sleeping among the freshly washed clothes still warm from the dryer, landing in the bathtub with the children, or helping himself to a luscious pie, Charlie always manages to land in the lap of trouble. Boldly colored pictures show many sides of this cat; the visuals are fully augmented with significant details such as a childish drawing of Charlie made by the boy or girl. Some of the pages have die-cut circular windows that provide readers with a welcome teaser of the action ahead. Ages 2-6.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- Charlie, a yellow cat with orange stripes, wreaks all sorts of havoc in this colorful picture book. Every other right-hand page has a hole in the middle, offering a glimpse of what Charlie is up to. Turn the page to get the whole picture: Charlie in the fishbowl, in the bathtub, in the mouse's cage at school. Objects related to whatever disaster Charlie is currently involved in decorate the circular peek-throughs. The bright, cartoon-like illustrations suit the simple plot and everyday settings. The rhymed text approaches sing-song monotony at times, but the refrain and repetition should catch the interest of the two-year-old set. On the whole, an appealing piece of fluff. --Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL

The book appears virtually unread. Boards are bright and clean with sharp corners and no bumping. The binding is tight and square. All pages are crisp, clean, and free of marks, inscriptions, foxing, or browning. Crucially, every single die-cut peephole is in perfect condition ? no tears, creases, or wear to any of the interactive circular windows. Illustrated boards remain vibrant with the bright orange cat and striped border looking fresh. A truly outstanding example of this fragile novelty title. A delightful interactive picture book that follows the naughty adventures of Charlie Rascal, a cheeky ginger tabby cat. Young readers (and adults!) peek through specially cut circular holes on each spread to discover what trouble Charlie has caused ? from diving into the fishbowl and stealing Grandma's fruit pie to climbing trees and tumbling in the laundry. Rhyming text and Lorna Kent's warm, expressive illustrations make this a joyful read-aloud that never fails to elicit giggles.
