Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 1AJo is "the world's most helpful kitten." Or so she thinks. She eagerly springs to the aid of Sam and Jen as they undertake various household tasks, but only seems to cause trouble despite her well-intentioned efforts. The pages have a few spare lines of text to the left of the double-page spreads, and readers must lift the flap to the far right in order to view the rest of the action. Similar to Josse Goffin's Oh! (Abrams, 1991), the hidden illustrations show the results of Jo's interference, along with the repetitive refrain of "No no, Jo!" The final panel shows the children searching for the missing cat, who is napping under a blanket on the sofa. Sunny, soft-shaded hues add warmth and realism. The mischievous, scrawny feline is full of personality; she fares better than the flatly rendered children. The format of this book will please "Spot" lovers.ADeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library,
