The narrator’s cat, in comparison, is an ordinary, round-the-house cat, and just likes to hide in boxes! As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. Cats are ambush predators and finding confined places where they can hide, hunt prey and feel safe and warm is an instinctive behaviour.

Cats from many different countries may like to do all kinds of strange things, but my cat, an ordinary round-the-house cat, likes to hide in boxes.The line that is repeated the most in the book is “but my cat likes to hide in boxes” with an image of the house cat in a different box. The repetition in the story gives plenty of opportunities for little ones to learn the rhymes and join in. Readers do not get an insight on who is narrating the story, but we do not know that they own the cat.

Each cat is wonderful in its own way, but the ultimate line – the title of the book – is the real gem.Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.
