A story in verse about a cat who enjoys imitating the sounds of other animals
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
PreSchool-K-- Resembling a small tiger, a non-conformist cat copies a variety of animals from barnyard to graveyard. The young narrator of this rhymed tale finally asks readers for a "stay-at-home cat" who would teach his pet proper catlike behavior. At story's end, it appears that the copycat is adopting "catness," but with a vengeance. The final picture shows it standing on hind legs, emitting an operatic and ear-splitting "Meow!" The repetition of "I have a cat, a bold copycat," will please young listeners. While some words and expressions are unlikely to come from the small child telling the story, this flaw won't distract youngsters from the humorous pictures. Large, boldly colored forms in watercolor and crayon on textured paper stretch from edge to edge of the double-page illustrations. Backgrounds of straw, flowers, grass, and water splash across pages with movement and color. Animals' startled expressions will elicit giggles, especially when cat and snake hiss together. Repetition, rhyme, and colorful illustrations combine to make this tale a winner at storytimes. --Jane Saliers, Atlanta-Fulton Public Library
