Splat the cat the name of the game ar level

This was quite the charming tale. The only quibble I had was with the artwork. I'm so sorry Splat, but you're just not as adorable looking as other illustrated cats. Despite my unpopular opinion of the artwork, this was a sweet, adorable tale that I would recommend for any child experiencing first day of school jitters.

I read this book at a school bookfair and fell in love with it and had to buy it. Splat is a loving cat who teaches us that we don't have to give in to societys expectations. This book teaches a good lesson in friendship and that just because you're "not supposed" to be friends with someone dosent mean you can't.

This book also teaches that if you don't agree with soemthing to stand for what you believe in. The illustrations are also very captivating. View 1 comment.

Audience: Boys and girls preschool to 2nd grade Appeal: colorful, unique, animals which kids love Application: I would use this for rhyming activity with the kids.

The title itself has a rhyme and we could do a fun action that the students would have to do every time they saw a rhyming word. I could also work with them on pacing when reading a story. And helping the students relate the situation the cat is in to their own lives Award List: Coldecott.

This is another great book for the beginning of the school year. I would use this in my classroom at the beginning of the year or if there's a new student, to share with the class that everyone gets nervous about a new school. This could be used to discuss situations where the students may have been nervous but everything turned out okay.

It could also be used to introduce the word nervous and its meaning and could be carried on by reading The Way I Feel by Janan Cain.

Field rated it really liked it Shelves: children. Funny Back-to-School story. Based on the Splat the Cat character created by Rob Scotton; but this story was written by someone else. I like the illustrations of Splat the Cat, especially the wildly crooked tail that quivers at times when he is worried or excited; however, sometimes the over done smiles are a little on the scary side.

I thought it was unusual that all the other cats in the story had clothes, except for Splat.
