This book was ideal for reading aloud to my daughter, who is 5 years old and learning to read herself. The illustrations are very sweet, and the story is easy for children to relate to, even if they aren't Japanese cats. A good way to show children that learning to read takes a little time and courage.
My daughter was quite enchanted by this story and the illustrations. I found it a little awkward to read aloud, unlike Alison Lester's many other wonderful books. The ending was a little... simple?
