This book is a cute read about a cat searching for its friend. There isn’t a ton of story here, but that’s okay because early readers will be focused on the beautiful art…and finding little glimpses of Ash the black cat in the background of each scene. I also love any book which reinforces the merit of black cats, since they are historically vilified and left in shelters. Overall, I judge a kid’s book by whether or not I think my niece would like it. This one is a win!

This is a charming and fun book for children 3-5 - a perfect bedtime book. A simple tale about Socks the cat. Socks lives in a city and wants to find his friend Ash. But as his quest develops he gets distracted by the sights and sounds around him. Younger readers can see hints of Ash in the pictures and will have fun spotting him. The illustrations by Tizzy Cottingham are warm and welcoming and add to the delight of the book.- especially the images of the city This book is highly recommended to young readers and storytellers who love to entertain young children. A fun and exciting read .
