review 1: Simon the cat goes to work with his person, who is the star of a Broadway show. Havoc ensues when he escapes to roam the theater and have a few escapades of his own! I am always on the look out for cute books for showers, birthday presents or to fill a Christmas stocking, and this fits the bill. It’s a simple introduction to the workings of the theater using a runaway cat as the guide. The writing is simple and fun and can be expanded to answer the questions of older kids or simplified even further for the younger set. I’m not sure even who could resist these adorable illustrations! I certainly couldn’t. Recommended.
review 2: Interesting. I'm trying to figure out who I would recommend this to. Definitely cat lovers. Perhaps kids who are already into thea... moreter/performing. But it still seems a bit random. I mean, it's a cute story. I love the little random sketches of mice all over the place. And I thought it fun that the cat wouldn't come down until it was sung to. But the whole song? It's sweet, but I'm not sure I would want to read that aloud in a storytime. (I'm a singer; I prefer to sing songs if I can. I do not know the tune of this, so I cannot sing it if I'm reading the story aloud--and I would have no idea what tune to make up to this!) Not one I'd be using in a preschool storytime, but worth having around for one of those pull-off-the-shelves browsing. less
