A small striped cat finds his way home

No one wants the small striped cat who is lost. “Scat, cat!” says the dog, the bird, the barber, the baker, the bus driver, the duck, the frog, the goose, the owl, the bat, and even the skunk.

So the cat walks and walks until he finds a little house where there is a little boy that does not say, “Scat, cat!” In an ending twist, the cat discovers he is home. Young readers will learn the names of animals and occupations as well as useful vocabulary in this sweet and simple text.

This My First I Can Read Book is perfect for shared reading with toddlers and very young children. Basic language, word repetition, and whimsical illustrations make this book just right for the emergent reader.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1–Scat, Cat! tells the story of a lost striped cat trying to find its way home. In Mia, a cat that is an aspiring dancer takes her older sister's tutu, by mistake, to her first dance class. Both books have short, simple sentences and easy plotlines, good devices for beginning readers. The first title is a bit more successful in this regard as it employs more word and phrase repetition. Large, colorful illustrations and an easy-to-read typeface make both books visually appealing. Pictures in Mia are slightly more whimsical, and the cover illustration of a happy kitten twirling in a pink tutu is sure to grab young girls' attention.Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA

Wonderful for preschoolers!

I bought this book to read to the preschool I read to every Wednesday. The children absolutely LOVED it. I taught them that every time Scat, Cat is said they should put their hand out and scream SCAT, CAT! They have begged me to read it over and over. I love the ending. I was hoping that would happen. Thank you for such a sweet book!

Success with I can read books

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2015

This was a gift for a beginning reader who loves animals. With cute illustrations, repetitive phrasing, many words with the "short a" pattern, it was a fun and successful read. Little ones especially enjoyed the "SCAT, CAT!" read (yelled) with conviction by siblings. The theme, "will the cat find a home" is very relatable for kids.

Fun story, great structure for new readers wanting to read on their own!

Very good book for beginner readers. Simple, repetitive word structure helps kids to memorize the book and learn sight words. Fun story!

The book was great for my grandson. He enjoys reading it. It's surprising that the S&H was more than the book.

This book would actually be a good one to share with little ones

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2016

~ borrowed from the Library

SCAT, CAT! by Alyssa Capucilli (of BISCUIT fame) is at the beginning First Grade reading level. The text consists 226 words.

Here's some text from two pages:

There was a cat.
It was a small cat.
It was a striped cat.

It was a lost cat.
The cat walked and walked.

The rest of the book consists of of dogs, cats, bakers, barbers, and other critters and people telling kitty to SCAT! The small cat ends up sitting on a chair and being greeted by a boy with food in hand in the morning.

~
The artwork in this book is cute and appealing. The story will probably appeal to young children, but personally it got me down. It probably doesn't pay to over-analyze a children's primer (lol) but that's a lot of rejection.

This book would actually be a good one to share with little ones. There are quite a few animals to point out, and careers to introduce. Animals include dogs, cats, pidgeons, duck, geese, frog, owl, bat and more. People include the barber and baker mentioned previously, as well as a bus driver.

I thought the ending was a little strange, but kids won't mind because Kitty is home.
