Cat fans, take a moment to enjoy this book! The first spread showing how the cat and dad look alike will have you grinning, following pages demonstrating how they’re similar will make that smile grow. (Mom picking up after them. Enjoys boxes. Fear of heights.) It’s always a plus when a kids book has added humor that adults can enjoy and this book does that, with a unique ending. As an added plus, the artwork is phenomenal (what does your workspace look like Ms. Lam?) and mirrors that of prior titles (which are equally imaginative). I’m a new fan, thanks!

This book did not transfer to my Kindle properly. The illustrations and words were chopped and disjointed so I don't know what the actual book really looks like.

From what I saw I did not care for the illustrations, they were stiff and flat and I don't think they would appeal to a young child for whom this book is meant. The comparisons are silly and don't make much sense.

Since I don't feel as though I really got a complete look at the finished book I will not publish a review on public media.

I would not recommend this book.

This sweet and imaginative story would make for a perfect preschool storytime pick. The art is unique and engaging and the simple story will capture young listeners’ or readers’ attention. There’s even a little twist to the story that will delight a curious young child who figures it out.

Too funny! I loved how everything looked like it was made in 3D and arranged on the page. Adorable. I can't wait to re-read it in print.

A cute book about how we often look alike in our families, and what makes a family.

Fun examples are given about how the dad and the cat are very much the same. While the narrator says that she is very much like her mother.

Cute story about a slightly different type of family.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is a beautiful book to share with kids that have cats (or kids who want them). The pictures are gorgeous, the prose is funny. It's clear that Lam understands cats. Parents, teachers, and kids will love this book. Highly recommended!

I liked the story and think littles will enjoy it, too. Might be nice opening to a discussion of how we are alike and different from our families. I would have liked to have had been luck with the illustrations, but the pictures didn't download very well. What I could see of them was fun and they looked bold without too much detail. So might be nice for a small group read.
