Cat Nap

My one year old daughter LOVES this book and has loved it since she was about 4-5 months old. We had a hard cover version that she was in the process of loving to the point of destruction, so we are very happy that there is now a board book version. The story is fun to read for parents, too, as the central conflict of the story reflects the experience of having an energetic kid who wants to play when you're tired. I don't mind reciting it on repeat like I do for some other books she has. The illustrations are cute and the characters are charming. There is a little mouse on most of the pages, which is also fun for kids who are familiar with Good Night Moon.

I love this book and so does my granddaughter. It’s cute, funny, entertaining and it’s about cats. What’s not to love?

Very cute story. Pictures and simple story are great for infants and toddlers but I can also see it being a great early reader for older kids.

My 6 month old LOVES this book. We read it to hear for every nap and it always leaves a smile on her face. It's perfect for a younger baby, it's short and sweet.

This is an adorable board book. The illustrations are cute and my daughter enjoys having a story featuring cats. It's something that I can read over and over again without getting too tired of it.

My son is one and a half. He loves this book and we read it daily. A cute little hide and seek book with simple yet bold illustrations that make our little guy giggle. We definitely recommend!

This is...so accurate to what cats are like, actually. The ending especially. Undoubtedly, this book is meant for cat families. As a picture book for general audiences, it's not all that interesting. The story is sparse, and while it does encourage a few laughs, it's not a master work. But, if you have cats, it's pretty delightful. I especially love when artists include a small "hidden" element in each page, as Yuly does with a mouse. I put quotes around the word because the mouse is very easy to find on each page, since the artwork is already very simple, with nothing like shading or small details to muddle up the view. Despite being obvious to most adults, little kids will have fun finding the mouse as you go through the story. This book is mainly good for a library borrowing, to me. You'd have to have a very enthusiastic child to justify purchasing it for a private household. As for gifts, I think there are many better options out there to give to someone.

We have a 14-year old gray cat that my 1-year old son is obsessed with (unfortunately the cat does not feel the same). The cat in this book reminds him of our cat and he loves it so much, he kisses every page. Very cute board book, not too long to read to a baby. Definitely recommend.

If you've ever had a cat and a kitten, this book is beyond funny. A lovely book to read with young kids.
