Have You Seen My Cat?

Eric Carle, the famous author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is back with this simple quick read, Have You Seen My Cat?. The inside cover of this book quickly pictured and labeled all the different cats that are located throughout the pages of the book.

As the book goes, a young boy asks different people from different cultures if they have seen his cat. Each time they point to the next page and reveal a new and different cat which is, of course, not his cat. At the end of the book, the boy finds his cats, which are the same cats as printed on the cover.

This book has a simple pattern of language to follow which allows beginning readers to follow with ease as they learn about different cats and cultures. If you like Eric Carle's other books, you are bound to find this book as a great read for young readers.
