Princess Fuzzypants here: If you are looking for a fun Christmas-y book to share with your young readers, this one will delight. The kitty in the title shows all the reasons why a cat would dislike Christmas with all the fuss, bother and kerfuffle. It disrupts the routine, which we kitties know is paramount to a happy home. He shows all the things in a series of adorable pictures and cute rhymes. And he gets all the way to the end before he announces the biggest surprise.
Cats don’t dislike Christmas. They love it. And so will you love this book. Five purrs and two paws up.
Beautifully illustrated and enjoyable read of an adorable little grumpy cat, me and my son both enjoyed it!
Me and my son absolutely loved this book. My son found it humorous and he was delighted to find out that he had to look for the mouse and ball of wool on each page. I loved that detail too as it meant he really studied the pictures and noticed things that he wouldn't necessarily have noticed otherwise. A great book for cat lovers with a lovely ending.
Love the idea of this book - my cat loves eating out Christmas tree so it did make me chuckle to read a story about a cat who doesn’t quite like it.
Reading in my kindle hasn’t show the book in its full glory as it’s not put the words in the right order on some pages to make sense.
For anyone who loves silly books about mischievous cats, or for cat owners whose own cat doesn’t like Christmas (I know mine loves to hide in the Christmas tree!) This this a funny & festive book for all readers alike…even if you’re not a cat-person!
This was SUCH a cute and fun read! As someone who has two cats and a baby, this book perfectly captured a cute idea of what cats think around Christmas time. It rhymes and has good rhythm as well. The illustrations are cute and you can even do a little search for a mouse on each page to add to the fun!
This was a cute picture book with a cat lovers spin. The illustrations were good and I found it a fun read.
Thanks BooksGoSocial via NetGalley.
If you have a younger child who happens to love cats and wants everything cat-related and cat themed in their life, this is a perfect Christmas gift for them! The story is super fun, the drawings are even more fun, and the book is a quick and fun read to enjoy together with the child.
A sincere thank you for providing me an advanced copy of “Cats Don’t Like Christmas!” in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity and leave my review voluntarily.
Thanks NetGalley for the preview!
I was not a big fan of this story. The illustrations were very cute though. The rhymes were a nice feature.
First, I want to thank Andy Wortlock, Nahum Ziersch, Books Go Social and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Cat lovers young and old will just adore this adorable Christmas story! Both Andy and Natum make an incredible team creating this fun story with the graphics that just pop! This duo will have you laughing hysterically with the antics! This is such a cute and fun read that will get you in the Christmas spirit!
Thank you so much to booksgosocial/ Splash Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
A wonderful rhyming book about a cat who doesn’t like all the changes that come at Christmas time. This was really funny and an absolutely wonderful read, the cat had so much personality. I loved the grouchy cat pointing out everything that has changed and been put out for the holidays, how excessive everything is and how much he hates everything. It was so funny and done in a fun rhyming way.
The illustrations were fun and I loved that you can also play a little game whilst reading to find the mouse and yarn hidden on each page. A really cute Christmas book that I recommend, it’s fun, funny and easy to read. Kids will be laughing and it’s a story following a grouchy cat what’s not to love.
Oh my goodness! Cats Don’t Like Christmas is the BEST Christmas children’s book I’ve read in years! It was so much fun and any cat lover and owner will tell you how true it all is!!
My daughter and I absolutely loved reading this together and we will be picking up a copy of the book to add to our holiday collection this year! ❤️
Adorable holiday picture book! The illustrations are cute and fun. The text is amusing. Young children will really enjoy this book. It was written with an understanding of stereotypical cat behavior. Families who have pet cats will appreciate the funny things their cats do presented in this book.
The author/illustrator hid a small drawing of a mouse on every page. This is mentioned at the end of the book. If I went back to look for the mice, children definitely will.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
the story wasn't really snatch my attention but the illustrations are absolutely adorable. then at the end of the story apparently there's a little surprises hidden on every pages and that succesfully made me went through every pages again just to find them all. so fun.
This feline-tastic book is an adorable and hilarious picture book detailing all of the annoyances cats face during a busy family Christmas. Each page features a clever rhyme and is beautifully illustrative of the narration, full of wit and charm!
As a mega cat lover, I feel like there is also an important tale to tell here: with compassion and empathy, we can enjoy Christmas while not pestering our pets too much, if only our family and guests let them have adequate quiet time in addition to love, and affection.
Make sure to read until the end because every page features a hidden mouse! Enjoy finding these together with your little ones (or, in my case, my cat Olivia who was eager to spot them!).
Highly recommended! Purrfect for kids and adults (and cats!), too!
Thank you to NetGalley for this review copy. All opinions are my own.
A cute little holiday book about a grumpy cat who hates Christmas.
It’s cute and has good illustrations.
Perfect to read during the holiday season before bed.
Short and sweet.
What an adorable book! My kiddos would love it for Xmas time and I can hear their laughs as the cat climbs the tree and gets tangled in the ribbon. I thought this was going to be like “Bad Kitty” but this stands alone as a great series.
Such a charming, funny, cat-ish holiday book. I liked the rhymes and it was great fun looking for the mouse and the yarn in every picture. It will certainly delight children.
Cats don’t like Christmas?
What?
Every little one will enjoy the bright colours and the dippy rhymes of a cat’s tour through his house that has been newly Christmas-ified. See the tinseled-up world of Christmas spirit through the eyes of a cat who finds his world suddenly brighter, noisier, and people-ier than before!
Every Christmas-loving child will be delighted by the final pages when the cat reveals his Christmas-truth (spoiler alert: cats don’t HATE Christmas).
Once they’ve read through it once, little ones get to go back and search for the mouse and ball of yarn on every page.
A fine addition to a child’s bookshelf - and to my “cats” bookshelf, too!
