Welcome to Advent Reads!
This is an event I have had on my blog for several years running now. Each evening I feature a different holiday themed book. Think of it as your Book Advent Calendar! I post a variety of holiday books including romance, children's, middle-grade, mystery, paranormal, and I try to find some that are other holiday celebrations than Christmas too. I hope you will stop by each evening to see what new book I have for you!
Read for: Early Reader
Synopsis: "Fans of the PBS Kids Special The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Christmas! can relive the fun over and over with this Step 3 adaptation of the complete episode, written for children who are ready to read independently. From the Cat's Christmas Eve Party (with animal guests from all over the world), through his mishaps while attempting to return a young reindeer home in time to pull Santa's sled, readers will be introduced to a herd of elephants with an uncanny ability to smell water, a pod of dolphins who can communicate across far distances, and a single-minded army of Christmas Island crabs—all of whom demonstrate how working together is the best way to solve a problem, and how being home for the holidays is the best place to be!"
My Review: This was a good level 3 reader, I read an ebook from the library and the formatting was a bit off (lines from one page getting bumped to the next page and leaving the rest blank) so that may have thrown off our enjoyment of it. We did however really like the rhymes, they are very Cat in the Hat and they flowed so nicely while reading it aloud. It was also a fun adventure making a lot of stops in various places and getting some assistance from unusual animal helpers. We did enjoy it though it was a little long for Munchkin, by next year it will be perfect.

My Rating: I am a fan of Dr. Seuss but not always a fan of these books done in his style but not actually him, but the rhyme in this one was fun. We really enjoyed it and give it a rating of Three Paws.
