Splat!
The Tale of a Colorful Cat
By Jane Seymour and James Keach
Illustrated by Geoffrey Planer
Review by: Monica
Barker
Fans of THIS ONE and THAT ONE's first
story, Yum!, will be equally delighted with Splat!, the second in a series
about the adventures of twin "kits", THIS ONE and THAT ONE.
On this particular Sunday morning, The
Malibu cats all had something to do or somewhere to go--everyone except
THIS ONE and THAT ONE. They were staying home with their dad, Big Jim.
Everyone in the Malibu cats' house was up extra early-everyone except Big
Jim. But, THIS ONE and THAT ONE were up extra early, so sleepy old Big Jim
got up too. He tried to get the twins dressed. Then, he tried
to get them breakfast. Then he tried to clean up the mess. By 9:30,
the kits were bored and no one would be home until lunchtime. What would
Mommy do? Even though he knew it was a bad idea, dad got Lady Jane's
paints out of the closet for THIS ONE and THAT ONE. The painting project
he suggests doesn't turn out quite the way he expects…
"Some blue for his nose,
And spots of red;
Some green for the hair
On a furry head
Some white for his paws,
And pink on his heart.
Old Big Jim
Is a work of art!"
Twin kittens
can be quite a pawful! Seymour, Keach and Planer come through again. 4 - 7
year-olds will enjoy the funny story and bold, bright illustrations of
Splat! Just watch out that they don't get any colorful ideas of
their own!
