Media Reviews
The bouncing rhyming text makes this an ideal choice for reading aloud and the humour of the illustrations will delight ailurophiles large or small The Glasgow Herald Truly a treat for tinies Red Reading Hub The rhyming text and appealing art make it a perfect read-aloud bedtime book The Irish Times A gorgeous rhyming text and cats with attitude combine to create a read-aloud favourite Bookseller Bold, funny and striking Bournemouth Daily Echo Delightful Books For Keeps Emma Dood handles words as deftly as her paintbrush The Sunday Telegraph I Don't Want a Cool Cat **** Emma Dodd, Orchard, 32pp, 978 1 84616 950 2, GBP10.99 hbk This is a delightful companion to Dodd's I Don't Want a Posh Dog, where again animals with attitude stalk, amble, prance, sprawl across her double-page spreads. The rhythmic rhyming text, brilliant for reading aloud, introduces a variety of unsuitable felines until eventually the little girl narrator finds a cat that she can call 'My own cat'! Dodd's characteristic line is strong, clearly outlining her subjects and allowing for an infill of colour ranging from muted to bright. While some pages are filled with the bulk of an over-fluffy cat other are allowed plenty of space to emphasise scale. There is lots to share and talk about in this picture book, whether in a classroom or on a one-to-one basis. Dodd is becoming known for her characterful animal creations and the cats on these pages are delightful additions to her menagerie. Books for Keeps The bouncing rhyming text makes this an ideal choice for reading aloud, and the humour of the illustrations will delight ailurophiles large or small. The Herald (Glasgow) A perfect read-aloud bedtime book. Irish Times A perfect partnership between words and pictures. Sunday Telegraph Great fun. Carousel Gorgeous. A read-aloud favourite. Bookseller
