Book Reviews of Sneakers, the Seaside Cat
Book Review: A great gift for any child.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I was shopping extensively for an outstanding children's book one Christmas and was lucky enough to stumble upon this gem. As other reviewers have pointed out the illustrations are stunning and the book as a whole teaches an appreciation for nature and the wonders that can be found near the sea.
The story is good, but the illustrations bring the characters and scenery to life. The cat, Sneakers, is particularly charming and a big hit with children. Over a year after I gave this as a present, it is still this particular child's favorite book and as an adult I appreciated it.
There is some special intangible that comes alive through the combination of the author's narrative and illustrators ability. This is a book that you can't go wrong with and that you can appreciate as an adult.
Your child will also learn a lot about the sea and beach and be able to identify with the curiosity of the main character. This is a nice launching point for the imagination and good two-way conversations.
Summary of Sneakers, the Seaside Cat
Sneakers saw something.
It was yellow and pink on the outside....
Then he crept up to it and peeked in.
On Sneakers? first trip to the seaside, his curious paws find surprises in the sand. There?s a mischievous crab, playful shrimp, and a shell that echoes the roar of the ocean.
o A treat for fans of Margaret Wise Brown and cat lovers.
