Thank you Kiersten with LAVIDGE Publishing for a review copy of this book.  My opinion of this book is my own.  

Synopsis

Oh what a lazy fat cat! All he did was sat on a mat.  It did not matter if a big straw hat fell down and went splat on the mat, or that a baseball bat fell onto the mat, hit the hat, and smashed it flat.

He just sat on the mat. He looked at the bat and the flat hat. 

The only thing that made him think about being fat is when a pretty cat named Pat came to chat.

What happened after that to that lazy fat cat?

My Thoughts

This book was so much fun to read.  It is funny, and at the same time makes you feel sad for the cat. You want to cheer him on to help him get off of his mat.

The Mills did a fantastic job with introducing and including ‘at’ words in the story.  The illustrations were perfect. 

The story allows the readers to get involved with the story at the end.  It also includes more learning with “at” words and activities.  I recommend this book be added to your child’s library, it will be a delight.
