What a fun book! I really liked the illustrations and the story was cute as well. I think kids who like cats are going to love this book. I also found out that the author had a few Cats Don't Like That books, so now I need to go find those to read, too.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this digital ARC!

Cats Don’t Like Christmas is an adorable story about a cat and all the changes it’s humans make to the house during the holidays. This story is perfect for families experiencing their first, or their fiftieth holiday season with a pet. And for kids who have sensory challenges or other aversions to change, this book could help explain what to expect and open the door to conversations about the cat’s opinions and if the kids agree. I am looking forward to sharing it with my kids during their first Christmas season with their new kitten!

This was such a fun Christmas book!! The rhyming was great for the theme, the artwork was cute and one of my favorite things was there was a twist. In a kids book! Then to add the hidden game feature was even cooler! It is definitely a great book that kids will love to read over and over!!

This is such a cute story and was such a joy to read with my son.

The illustrations are so bright and there is so much detail that it keeps your attention for quite some time!

We really enjoyed the little added bonus of trying to find the little mouse on each page. I have a feeling that this is a book that will be re read quite a bit in our house!

FIrst I love cats so this is a great book for me even as an adult. I could see my cats thinking exactly like this book at Christmas. The pictures are adorable and fit well with the story. This is a great childrens books, especially if they love cats. Even if they don't love cats, animals and holidays make a great combination! Even better it is part of a series!

A cute and colorful book about Christmas from a cats point of view. The end pages give kids a reason to read it again and again to try and find the hidden items on every page.

I adore this book. I have 2 cats, and this will be our first Christmas with them, so I am a mix of anxious and excited to see how they react to everything.

This story is super cute, and the illustrations are adorable! I love how it lets us see the perspective of the cat and how things in the house changing can be a lot for them. This is a book to keep on the shelves and reread every year we bring out the Christmas tree.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Wonderful story, of what I assume, is an accurate story of how cats feels about Christmas. The Map to hide from the humans was a nice touch.

I think kids will love reading the story and then going back to really look at the pictures. The addition of mouse and yarn search on every page was a nice touch

A delightful fun book for all ages! My seven year old grandson and I absolutely adored it. The pictures are vivid. The story is fun. We have 7 cats and we laughed ourselves silly because we could see ours in this book. A must read!! Thanks #netgalley and #BooksGoSocial for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Cats Don’t Like Christmas is an absolutely adorable, funny book for the holiday season. The story is told in rhyme as the cat tells all the things cats don’t like about Christmas- the blinking lights, the new cushions to lay on, and the family visit all appear. The illustrations are incredibly well done. The cat has so many funny facial expressions, my kids couldn’t stop laughing! We will be purchasing a copy to keep and read for years to come.

Thank you to Books Go Social and NetGalley for this fun holiday ARC!

A fun and festive read for both kids and adults!

Cats Don't Like Christmas! is a colorful and beautifully illustrated book featuring a cat's thoughts on Christmas. I find it amusing for both kids and adults, with the cat's facial expressions to delight a kid. It's enjoyable and relatable, especially to the families that celebrate Christmas and its traditions, and an excellent short book for kids to enjoy leading up to the holidays.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for the e-ARC.

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a fun book that would be perfect to enjoy during the lead up to the holiday. The illustrations are beautifully done and my six year old son loved the picture find activity. If you have a sassy cat, or a little one that loves kitties, this is the Christmas book to pick up.

This book will make a good addition to Christmas collections. Told from the point of view of the cat, Cats Don't Like Christmas is a rhyming and entertaining read. For example, "What happened to a Silent Night? I hope it gets here soon..."accompanied by the colorful illustrations causes the reader to laugh out loud. The market is saturated by Christmas picture books, but this one is so unique that I believe it should be added to libraries that serve ages 5-10. The humor might be too old for the littlest readers, but mid to upper elementary readers should get a kick out of it.

“That was perfect!” Direct quote from my six year old. The story was quick and fun and she loved going back and finding the hidden mouse on each of the pages!

Cats Don’t Like Christmas by Andy Wortlock is a cute story about a cat who, as the title states, doesn’t like Christmas. The cat doesn’t like all the changes in decor and how his things have been rearranged. The little cat soon finds the Christmas tree and all of the wrapped presents. As all cats tend to do, the cat decides to explore this new tree and all of its beauty. The cat finds some mischief throughout the rest of the book and you can imagine how that goes.

I recommend this read to all young children. Perfect quick bedtime story for all little ones who will love the rhymes and funny situations.

Cats Don't Like Christmas!
5 Stars

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a fun, but corky holiday, picture book. It's told from the cat's perception. I loved the humorous cat illustrations and charming art style. What made this book so enjoyable for me is that many of these things have happened to our family. Our cat companion helped with wrapping presents, climbing the tree, and everything in between. This is a great book. I'd definitely work it into the holiday book rotation and recommend it to any cat-loving kiddos out there.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
