Cats don’t like Christmas is the cats POV about the big holiday. It’s silly and is a great read for any kiddo that has cats. Did the cat shred a present under the tree? Read this book. Did the cat climb the tree? Read this book. Did the cat play with the ornaments? Read this book. This is a great book to bring home this Christmas season.

A very cute book about a cat who is starting to stress because Christmas time is here. That means a change to the house with decorations, lots of people, loud music and a tree he can’t play with. But, maybe, just maybe it’s not all that bad!?! Love the illustrations.

Perfect book for the holidays for the little cat lovers in your life!! It’s a quick read so perfect for bedtime. The illustrations are so bright and festive your little ones will want to read this over and over!

This festive story is such a great read for preschool aged kids! As a speech therapist and mom of 2, I can easily see how this book could be used to teach perspective taking and work on making inferences. The illustrations are quality and engaging and the story’s rhyme reads so well!

This was a cute christmassy story for early readers. The illustrations were adorable, and there’s a rhyming pattern throughout to practice phonological awareness skills.

Cats don’t like Christmas was adorable, hilarious, and beautifully illustrated! My 4&5 year olds loved all the silly rhymes and a cat getting up to no good! We also loved the little search and find surprise at the end! Such a great addition to put in your Christmas library for preschool age kiddos! I think anyone older than 5 would lose interest pretty quickly, but great for 5 and under!

Thank you NetGalley for our copy in exchange for my honest feedback!

A rhyming picture book with hilarious illustrations, a Christmassy theme, and a feline main character: what's not to love?!

Cat's Don't Like Christmas is a charmingly written story following one particular cat's grievances with the festive season. He doesn't like the constant out of tune singing and house guests, nor the flashing lights that stop him from sleeping. Naturally, however, he changes his mind by the end of the story and realises how much he DOES like the season! A few more pages would have been welcomed, for example explaining why the cat admits that he likes Christmas, but I admit that I'd just love to see more of Nahum Ziersch's illustrations!

The rhymes are gorgeous, just like all the pictures, and it's the perfect book to get you in the festive spirit. To add to all this, the end pages reveal that an adorable little mouse - and a ball of yarn - are hiding on every page. This gives you an excuse to immediately flick back through the book, though I can almost guarantee you'd have been tempted to do that anyway!

I enjoyed this so much that I'll be looking out for any more books in the 'Cat's Don't Like' series, and I can't wait to get my hands on the original 'Cat's Don't Like That!'

I thought that this was an enjoyable book and it was plenty of fun!

The story was easy to follow and it was fun to read with my daughter - it was lovely to read and share and we both really enjoyed it

She has recently learnt to read in Reception at school so it was great that we could read it together

The illustrations are lovely and they really bring the story to life too - it is a fun Christmas read and I can't wait to read it again nearer Christmas Day

It is five stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

Cats Don’t Like Christmas had my granddaughter laughing out loud.
But my 6 year old granddaughter thought it was extremely amusing and I had to try to read it three times to her. My granddaughter thought the cat was wonderful and loved the mischief he got in. She’s quite mischievous herself, so she related with hoops and hollering at the antics.
For myself, the pages didn’t download properly on my Kindle app on my IPad.
They were difficult to see and semi hard to read for my 69 year old eyes.
The book was a mischievous delight and if the pictures were corrected, it would have been a solid 4

This holiday book is adorably delightful. Anyone who has a cat can relate to the feline antics that are captured perfectly in these pages. The silly story and whimsical pictures bring the story to life. Every cat lover and Christmas enthusiast will love this story.

There's an extra touch of added fun searching for a hidden mouse throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you Net Galley and Books Go Social for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a great holiday book for children. The pages have grumbling cat rhymes and fun illustrations. There is even a search activity on each page. It is funny and festive oh, so Merry! Your kids will love it!

I will definitely be purchasing this title for my library, so fun, quirky, and colorful. Purrrfect for the holidays!

The book cover caught my eye because I have a gray cat we got as a kitten right before Christmas. She was a little stinker as a kitten. She didn’t want to wear a collar so she hid and I went crazy trying to find her. This book reminded me of her. One thing my cats have never done is climb the Christmas tree.

It’s a whimsical Christmas book with a cat who likes to hide when the relatives gather to celebrate. Who can blame her?! They’re noisy and wild. Then the truth comes out about how she really loves the lights and wrappings.

At the end there are a few activities your child can do—find the hidden mouse and yarn on each page, plus a QR code for more fun stuff. The illustrations are clever and sweet.

I received a copy of this book for my opinion.

This was a cute Christmas book featuring a grumpy, Christmas disliking cat. I love the hide and seek at the end of the book, I honestly didn't even notice the items until I was told there was one hiding on each page. Then I had to go back and find them all.

A great addition to every Christmas library.

A beyond adorable story following a family cat who is NOT thrilled with Christmas! From the lights being on all night that don't allow for a good night sleep, to granny visiting and petting him roughly and the wrong way- our feline narrator is OVER it before it begins. Like a lot of us, change can be overwhelming at first until we start to see that everything is still OK- not all change is bad!

I loved everything about this book! The rhyming, the silliness, and the illustrations are sure to entertain and engage a young kiddo (and a 32 year old...cough, cough ME cough, cough...!)

This was my first seasonal read for 2022 and it really got me needing more! I know everyone is all about Halloween and Fall, but I say BRING ON THE SNOW AND THE MISTLETOE!

Very excited to follow the Cat's Don't Like books by Andy Wortlock, this was the sweetest story to get me in the Holiday mood

I enjoyed this book immensely. I know my students would get a kick out of the humor being used. My favorite part was at the end, when a character is shown and tells the reader they were on every page. It’s a fantastic idea to re-engage the child and read the book again!

This book was so fun! We have 3 cat in our house, so we are very aware of cats and all the Christmas time shenanigans they get into. This book had catchy lines, beautiful artwork, and it was very easy for my kids to follow along. My kids laughed at everything the cat got into so you know its one they will enjoy reading multiple time throughout Christmas season and even outside of it!

A hilarious tale about a cat who is a complete Scrooge around Christmas. This silly story will get kids laughing during the coldest and darkest months of the year and in the mood for the Christmas season.

This is short, with an easy to follow and easy to read story. The details and little additions you see beyond the text really make it fun to explore each page and there are new little things you notice each time your read it. This would be a great story to read each year and make a new family tradition. The illustrations are cartoonish and vivid to keep the children engaged through the story.

This also has an underlying message of dealing with change and the hustle and bustle around holidays that may be overwhelming for some people. It shows kids that not everyone they meet might be in a festive spirit. It also teaches a great lesson about why real life pets at home may dislike the holidays and things like the lights, tree and ornaments. It can be a great way to teach kids about people with sensory disorders too. Or just read it just for fun.

Make the holiday merry and bright with this book.

4.5 Stars
It’s Christmas time, and the cat of the house doesn’t like it the least bit. The decorations and changes are a little too much for the cat. Poor thing.
The book is short, with just a handful of words on each page. The illustrations are cartoonish, funny, and super cute. A little mouse appears on each page (which I found really cute), only to realize that it was a sort of game for the kids to find it.
The last illustration has a teeny mouse on a teeny bed and two home slippers bedside the bed. Imagine that! This is like another version of Tom & Jerry, lol.
And… Gran has curly purple locks like a mop on her head. The fun part of the book is in the detailing. Another example is the chart with the plan of action made by the cat. The hoomuns are listed on the side with photos.
To summarize, Cats Don't Like Christmas! is a quirky little book showing what cats think of Christmas.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is absolutely an adorable book for all ages. The art is awesome, the colors so bright and merry!
Poor cat does not like Christmas but it sure sees some things that make it worthwhile, such as the tree! There is a little hide and seek mouse that we get to find on each page, too!
