Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-Lovable and fuzzy Splat the Cat is back. The shy feline is filled with anxiety when he learns that his class will be performing on Parents' Night. He looks to his pet mouse, Seymour, for inspiration on how to be brave. Still, he worries as he commits himself to practice singing. At last the night arrives; Splat's performance is not perfect, but he does his best and has fun. This beginning chapter book is similar to the earlier titles in both monochromatic tone and style. Children who are familiar with them will recognize Splat's classmates, fun background details, and silly expressions. Unlike Splat himself, this offering doesn't fall flat.-Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review
Text by Chris Strathearn. When Splat discovers he will be performing on Parents' Night, the worried cat frets, "I can't sing." With the help of teacher Mrs. Wimpydimple, mouse Seymour, and the whole cat chorus, Splat belts out a loud, flat "LAAA!" and becomes the show's highlight. There's not a lot to this, but fans of the fluffy kitty may enjoy it anyway. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
