  Well, that was weirdly awful.
  
  This may be classed as a Level 1 I Can Read! title, and the reading difficulty may be at that level, but the story is so juvenile and childish that I really kind of hated it. There really isn't any lesson, and I don't understand what the whole point of the book is. Is he trying to sing flat? Is this a good thing? Why does singing a note make him fall off the mat? Or is the book just trying way too hard to make kids laugh? (This is my first encounter with this character. Based on his name, though, I'm wondering if he falls a lot.)
  
  The pictures are kind of weird. The cats all look super soft and plush, but there's a sort of strange, CGI look to some of them that seems a little hokey. I'd like to know what the original illustrations are like (since this story is simply based on the creation of the original author).
  
  Meh. I don't think I'll be bothering with any more books about Splat. If I'm going to be reading Level 1 books in the I Can Read! series, I'd much rather pick up a Fancy Nancy or something. This just doesn't hold much appeal for more advanced readers (unless they like looking at pictures of fuzzy cats).

  Don't get me wrong--I like Splat the Cat books. Maybe I totally missed the point...I hope...Splat can't sing, and when he opens his mouth he sings flat and falls over. They give him a part that puts him center stage, and THEN everyone feels it's perfectly OK to LAUGH at him EVERY time his opens his mouth, sings flat, and falls over. I find this book NOT funny to laugh at others' problems. I think self-esteem could have been taught in a much better way.

  This is a Level 1 book? Really? Feels at least Level 2 or higher- I'd hesitate to give this to a beginning reader. He or she would struggle with so many of the words here. And I'm always sad to see a character franchised to the point of neither the art nor the text being by the original creator. It's just sort of strange.

  Note that this book is "based on the bestselling books by Rob Scotton", but it is not written by Rob Scotton. Whether or not you are a Rob Scotton fan (personally, I've never heard of him), this is a clue that the book is likely a pale imitation of the original. Having never read the original, I can only say that this book on its own is rather dumb. There are a lot of rhyming words, but no rhythm or cadence to the text so it kinda throws you off. And the plot was weird in a strange way.

  I love these pictures--they make me think of Wallace & Grommit. A good early reader for kids ready for whole paragraphs on a page. The repeated words and similar words are used a lot, which is good. A fun story, too, with a lesson as well! I like Splat--always a good recommendation.

  Splat the cat is scared to sing in front of people. This is a very good beginners book for children who are just learning to read.

  While I enjoyed this book, again Splat the Cat books are more of a read together book than a true level 1 book. Words like Seymour and Mrs. Wimpydimple are not words that beginning readers can sound out.

  Splat has his first musical recital. But he is afraid he will forget. Plus, he sings flat. But Splat will come out well in the end, and make everyone proud.

  This book teaches that it's okay to sing off-key but not to be shy.

  I'm not a fan, but my 2.5 year-old niece and nephew seem to love it, so I'll give it two stars.
