Kid’s Corner: Nat the Cat by Jarrett Lerner

This volume includes five Nat the Cat stories. They are Nat the Cat Takes a Nap; Nat the Cat Takes a Bath; Nat the Cat Has a Snack; Nat the Cat Has a Hat; and Nat the Cat Finds a Map. These books are for very beginning readers.

Inside are stories with simple vocabulary, rhyming and repetitive words and the relationship between Nat the Cat and Pat the Rat. (Pat is a bit of an instigator). The beginning reader will take pride in having their own short books to read.

This would make a good choice for an adult who wants to encourage a young one’s reading journey.

Many thanks to Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing and NetGalley for this title. All thoughts are my own.
