APPEALS TO: SEVERAL 

Cats are pretty playful. They can hide in all sorts of places and get into mischief. As the reader, you can see where these kitties go and learn prepositions along the way. The cat illustrations are all knitted creations that help show the different prepositions. 

The idea behind the book was good, but it didn't catch my attention. My five year old daughter also didn't find it very engaging, and she loves cats! It needed to have more of a storyline. Kids and teachers might be drawn to this since it teaches basic prepositions and has a cute cover.
