Loveable, adorable, wiry-haired Splat appears in a summertime tale this go around: Splish, Splat, Splat!
#1 New York Times bestselling author Rob Scotton has once again brought Splat to life and given him a brand new adventure. This time, Splat’s a little bit squeemish about swimming lessons. (Really, what cat wouldn’t be?)
This book made us laugh extra hard because, on the day we read it, we had given our solid black kitty a bath in our bathtub! We watched the claws come out, the hair stand on end, and the pleading meows begin. It’s obvious that cats weren’t meant to love water. But can they learn to?
Just as in previous tales, Splat also counts on the camaraderie of his mouse friend Seymour, and partakes in healthy competition with his complicated friend, Spike. By the end of the book you’ll see Splat transform from a kitty cat who doesn’t even like baths into a feline who develops a truce (heck, even a friendship) with water!
This book has endearing parts, laugh-out-loud parts, and parts that definitely hit home when it comes to fear of new activities and situations. Just perfect for the start of summer, Splish, Splash, Splat! can be ordered from any of these online retailers…and at most major booksellers nationwide!
