Description/Notes
'Familiar animals, repetitive text and heavily outlined page-filling graphic illustrations add up to a lot of laughs.nbsp;This is a book that toddlers and new readers will reach for again and again.'--Kirkus Reviewsnbsp; Filled with hilarious asides and an interactive question-and-answer format, this irreverent picture book will delight toddlers as they try to find out what Fat Cat will sit on. Full color. WhatwillFat Cat sit on? The pig? (Oink!) The chicken? (Cluck!) How about the dog? (Grrrr.) nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Everyone in thisnbsp;bumbling animal gang (understandably) hopesnbsp;the victimnbsp;will be someone else! Leave it to Mouse to come up with a brilliant solution that satisfies everyone, even Fat Cat himself. Filled with hilarious asides and an interactive question-answer format, this irreverentnbsp;young picture book will delight toddlers who love to shout 'NO!' 'Fat Cat's sheepish grin is the running punch line in this cheerful, boldly designed picture book. Fun to read aloud, it would also make an effective early reader for preschoolers. . . . By the end, the cow, a pig, a dog and a chicken can be thankful to a mouse for providing a nice fat chair.' Uh-oh.Fat Cat's looking for something--or someone--to sit on! * Thomas, in a rollicking and highly promising debut, makes this book a laugh-out-loud pas de deux between Dick-and-Jane-get-stylish typography and the supremely silly visual evocation of high anxiety. --Publishers Weekly(starred review)
