Cat Jumped In! by Tess Weaver - ADVISABLE

Cat Jumped In! by Tess Weaver. PICTURE BOOK. Clarion, 2007

EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

Jumping into the house through an open window, Cat begins a series of jumps that get him into trouble. Into the garbage can, into the closet, into the bedroom and into the art studio Cat goes, leaving each spot in complete disarray. Someone continually orders cat "Out!" The paint splotches cat leaves in his final leap win him a jump into someone's arms.

This story relies on its illustrations for meaning. The pictures are well done and truly reveal the nature of a typical, curious cat. Children will enjoy this book, especially those who have a cat at home.
