'Absolutely purr-fect' The Times Review: Beautiful addition to any child’s bookshelf - This is a beautiful addition to any child’s bookshelf, especially if you’re already a fan of Julia Donaldson’s charming storytelling. The illustrations are as lovely as ever, and the story is heartwarming and engaging — a big hit in our house. What makes it even better is how well it pairs with the corresponding Tonies audio character. If your child enjoys following along with the book while listening, this is a perfect combo. Our autistic son finds this format especially helpful and calming, making story time both fun and accessible. Highly recommended, especially if you already use a Toniebox — it enhances the experience and makes reading time feel more interactive and magical. Review: Perfect for Bedtime - Our daughter always enjoys Julia Donaldson books, and this one is no exception. She loves listening to the story, singing the song, and making cat noises—it’s become a regular at bedtime. The story is a good length and the pages are easy to read even in low light. A lovely, fun read to end the day. ## Features - SCHOLASTIC CHILDREN'S BOOKS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 174 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Children's Books on Cats 2 in Children's Books on Mammals 5 in Children's Books on Self-Esteem & Self-Respect | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,452 Reviews | ## Images ![Tabby McTat: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81g5tmArOVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful addition to any child’s bookshelf *by B***R on 3 July 2025* This is a beautiful addition to any child’s bookshelf, especially if you’re already a fan of Julia Donaldson’s charming storytelling.
