Apparently, I really
like children's picture books in which the author is also
illustrator! Carousel Cat is written and illustrated by
Robert J. Blake.
The illustrations in
this book were not nearly so captivating to me as in previous
author/illustrator books I've reviewed. My children really enjoyed
them, though. How do I know? If they don't enjoy the pictures, they
get up when I'm reading and the quiet erupts into their noisier play.
So, I'm pleased with the art for its ability to keep my children's
attention.
I like the story.
It left me wondering if the happenings were based on real incidents.
Are the characters based on real people? I haven't been curious
enough to find out, but it's interesting to think that they could be.
The plot twist
involving the cat is pretty fun. My children really enjoyed it.
Have you read
Carousel Cat? What did you think?
