The Splat the Cat book series is great for children aged 4-7. The playful illustrations make the story easy to follow, and it’s fun to look for Seymour together, Splat’s pet mouse, who can be found somewhere on each page. I love how fuzzy Splat is… It makes you want to cuddle him! The text itself is best suited to children around 5 years old, but would be enjoyable to read with a younger child as well. The illustrations in these books are beautiful. I found out about Rob Scotton's work through his bestselling book Russell the Sheep, and was later delighted to discover his Splat the Cat book series. Read Love, Splat with your little one this Valentine’s Day to find out! But all Kitten seems to want to do is pull his tail and poke his belly. In this endearing little story, Splat makes a special Valentine’s Day card for Kitten, a snowy white cat with pea green eyes. A lovable (if slightly clumsy) cat with a love of his own.

I love how you can see the individual cat hairs. Rob Scotton does a brilliant pairing of descriptive, short text with colorful, funny illustrations. Boy thinks he isn’t the cat’s meow or is he? I enjoyed seeing the journey that Splat went on from grooming himself in the morning, to knocking down Kitten by mistake, to competing with Spike about who likes Kitten more, to watching Splat feel down trodden and then learning everything isn’t what it seems.

Just a simple, fun story of boy likes girl. Since this is a Valentine themed book, here are is a site with free themed classroom activities. Here is a link to a one-page “fill in the missing letter” worksheet featuring words from the book. Will Splat’s heartfelt valentine win Kitten’s paw in the end? And then there’s Splat’s rival, Spike, who also likes Kitten. But Kitten doesn’t seem to like him at all-she always ties his tail and pokes his belly when she sees him. Her name is Kitten, and Splat likes her even more than fish sticks and ice cream. It’s Valentine’s Day and Splat has a special valentine for a certain someone in his class.

He straightened his whiskers, ruffled his fur, and brushed his teeth. Themes: Valentine’s Day, Shyness, Humor, Friendship, Love Wishing you all a very happy early Happy Valentine’s Day ! For those of you who heart for Ryan Gosling (actor from Ides of March & Crazy, Stupid, Love), go check out Tara Lazar’s post, it is hilarious. Afterall which kid or adult hasn’t had one.

With so much Liebster love going around the blogosphere and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I decided to pick a book about school crushes.
