Together (Emma Dodd's Love You Books). PreSchool-Grade 2 Cats may have a reputation for being finicky, but there's not a feline in this book that's as fussy as the little girl telling the story, a companion to I Don't Want a Posh Dog! (Little, Brown, 2009). In fluid rhyming text she turns down a cool cat, a stuffy cat, a greedy cat, and a prize cat. The cat she wants has one important feature it's a cat she can call her own. Pedigree and distinction cannot measure up to affection, and the one she chooses is just what anyone would want.

I Don't Want a Cool Cat! book. Emma Dodd's unnamed little girl begins by pondering, finger to chin, as to what type of cat she would like. She immediately decides when surveying a cat reclining on the sofa that she doesn't want a cool cat or a cat. Then an extremely hairy cat appears and she decides that she doesn't want a stuffy, huffy, over-fluffy cat; looking out of the window into the dark night she doesn't want a night cat or a looking-for-a-fight cat either.

A wonderful story about a girl who knows exactly the kind of cat that she wants. The illustrations are nice and big which make it a wonderful book to do for storytime. picturebooksKathy, October 27, 2010. Written by a customer while visiting librarything. 0 0. Customer Q&A.

For those who don't want a dull book, never fear-Dodd's latest is picture- (and pitch-) perfect. It’s definitely been done before-by the author herself (I Don’t Want a Posh Dog, 2009) as well as by myriad others who’ve created their own takes on why my pet’s the best. Still, this rhyming litany of all the characteristics the unnamed narrator is not looking for in a cat seems likely to find an enthusiastic audience. The attractive, inventive illustrations have a cartoon-style simplicity but include enough detail and variety to make repeat readings enjoyable.

We checked this book out along with the other one (I Don't Want A Posh Dog!) at our local library and LOOOOOVED IT! We HAD to own them both. I actually prefer the dog version, but they're both outstanding. I keep shoving them at family members to read to my daughter, because I want them to see how great they are. They're funny and silly and charming. My daughter loves them. I love reading them. They've got a great pace and adorable art work. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book!

This is a very cute story and the drawings are adorable. I am in my 40's and still thoroughly enjoyed this lovely book. Even though I bought it used, it was in great condition and packaged well. It arrived undamaged and did not smell or have any damage beyond normal wear and tear of reading.

There are all kinds of cats, but it just isn't any old cat that will please little girls. A little girl sat in a cat bed, crossed her legs, put her hands on her chin to think about the kind of the type of cat she did NOT want. There was the regal Siamese with a pink collar sprawled on the couch. The little girl thought to herself, "I don't want a cool cat. / A treat-me-like-a-fool cat." Nope, that cat wouldn't do. Next up for consideration was a gray "huffy, over-fluffy cat" and an orange striped alley cat, a "looking-for-a-fight cat." Neither one of those would do.

There was a big fat cat whose eyes widened when she filled a dish with food. "I don't want a greedy cat. / A `Meow, meow, please feed me' cat." She didn't want a prize show cat and a howling black cat was simply not her style. A huge tiger that would lick its chops when she fed it was not her cup of tea. A wide eyed, hairless "slinky, dinky, twinky cat" would just not do. No, it would not do at all. Was there any kind of cat that was just right for a little girl?

This is a delightful book of cats that swirl through the pages, but there is only one kind that a little girl can love. Of course there are cats for anyone and everyone and perhaps you'd fancy the prize cat or that chunky, chubby one, but the adorable look on this little girl's face when she found just the right one will bring out a smile on yours. Cat lovers are going to love the selection of felines in these pages, full well knowing that their kitty is the best ever. The rhythmical verse, which doesn't miss a beat, coupled with the purr-fectly charming artwork will endear this work to both young and old. If your little one is a cat lover, this is one darling book you should consider. No dog lovers need apply here!

In this British import, a little girl enumerates all the kinds of cats that simply will not do for her. "I don't want a cool cat. A treat-me-like-a-fool cat." I loved the expressive cats featured on every page. The grey Himalayan "huffy, over-fluffy" cat stares dourly back at the reader. The greedy cat struggles in vain to push his considerable girth through the cat flap on the door, as the girl determinedly marches forth, can-opener and bowl of food in hand. The marble bengal prize cat pauses to catch her reflection in one of her many trophy cups and smiles back at herself. The big cat (an enormous tiger that takes up the entire page) is followed by a too small, hairless cat, and here, the illustrator has the cat and girl in the lower quarter of a two-page spread, surrounded by empty space, emphasizing the "too smallness" of this cat.

The sweet little friendly kitten that the girl finally chooses at the end of the story, who she joyfully calls "my own cat" does appear to be just about perfect. The endpages features a repeating motif of red balls of yarn. Easily rhyming, steadily paced text paired with oversize bold-lined illustrations make this book a natural for sharing at storytimes. Dog-lovers should check out the accompanying book, I Don't Want a Posh Dog.
