This was a very fun story about a cat that really doesn't like the festive period. I found it enjoyable to read and it's definitely a book that younger children can interact with whilst reading. The illustrations are bright and colourful and it's definitely put me in the festive mood.

Cats don't like Christmas by Andy Wortlock is beautiful illustrated story for young children. It would be perfect to read to children during the run up to Christmas especially children who like cats. The illustrations are very eye-catching for younger children to enjoy the story. I will most certainly pick a copy of this book to read to my children. Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this storybook.

This was a beautifully illustrated and fun festive tale for young readers.

The cat explains his frustrations about Christmas in a tongue in cheek manner that I'm sure any adult reading will relate to!

The illustrations were gorgeously colourful and nostalgic feeling.

I loved the hidden mouse on each page for young eyes to find.

A charming festive and humorous book that would make a lovely gift.

5 ⭐️

This will be a fun new seasonal read for kids who love picture books, cats, and Christmas

This is a sing song story about all the things a cat hates about Christmas. From the sticky tape, shiny balls, all the family that visits. He can't sleep cause it's just to bright and loud. But In the end he admits he really does love it even though he gripes.

This was a really cute book. I loved the bright and detailed illustrations. The rhyming of this was a perfect fit for this story. I also love the detail that a small mouse is hiding on every page. My kids I know will eat this up.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial got this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntary.

Cats Don’t Like Christmas by Andy Wortlock is a very cute Christmas book for children. My granddaughter loves animals especially cats. She would love to read this book with the Christmas pictures of how when everyone celebrates Christmas the cats get lost in the presents but they love to play in everything too. A wonderful Christmas story that involves animals in its pictures and illustrations. I loved it and cannot wait to read to my granddaughter.

Cats Don't Like Christmas!
5 Stars

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a fun, but corky holiday, picture book. It's told from the cat's perception. I loved the humorous cat illustrations and charming art style. What made this book so enjoyable for me is that many of these things have happened to our family. Our cat companion helped with wrapping presents, climbing the tree, and everything in between. This is a great book. I'd definitely work it into the holiday book rotation and recommend it to any cat-loving kiddos out there.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book will make a good addition to Christmas collections. Told from the point of view of the cat, Cats Don't Like Christmas is a rhyming and entertaining read. For example, "What happened to a Silent Night? I hope it gets here soon..."accompanied by the colorful illustrations causes the reader to laugh out loud. The market is saturated by Christmas picture books, but this one is so unique that I believe it should be added to libraries that serve ages 5-10. The humor might be too old for the littlest readers, but mid to upper elementary readers should get a kick out of it.

What a fun and clever holiday book! The rhyming patterns are a fun way to tell this story about thins changing. The illustrations are just as fun as the story. This nana approves! Thanks #NetGalley #SplashBooks

Cats Don’t Like Christmas by Andy Wortlock is a cute story about a cat who, as the title states, doesn’t like Christmas. The cat doesn’t like all the changes in decor and how his things have been rearranged. The little cat soon finds the Christmas tree and all of the wrapped presents. As all cats tend to do, the cat decides to explore this new tree and all of its beauty. The cat finds some mischief throughout the rest of the book and you can imagine how that goes.

I recommend this read to all young children. Perfect quick bedtime story for all little ones who will love the rhymes and funny situations.

“That was perfect!” Direct quote from my six year old. The story was quick and fun and she loved going back and finding the hidden mouse on each of the pages!

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a fun book that would be perfect to enjoy during the lead up to the holiday. The illustrations are beautifully done and my six year old son loved the picture find activity. If you have a sassy cat, or a little one that loves kitties, this is the Christmas book to pick up.

A delightful fun book for all ages! My seven year old grandson and I absolutely adored it. The pictures are vivid. The story is fun. We have 7 cats and we laughed ourselves silly because we could see ours in this book. A must read!! Thanks #netgalley and #BooksGoSocial for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

A fun and festive read for both kids and adults!

Cats Don't Like Christmas! is a colorful and beautifully illustrated book featuring a cat's thoughts on Christmas. I find it amusing for both kids and adults, with the cat's facial expressions to delight a kid. It's enjoyable and relatable, especially to the families that celebrate Christmas and its traditions, and an excellent short book for kids to enjoy leading up to the holidays.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for the e-ARC.

This is such a cute story and was such a joy to read with my son.

The illustrations are so bright and there is so much detail that it keeps your attention for quite some time!

We really enjoyed the little added bonus of trying to find the little mouse on each page. I have a feeling that this is a book that will be re read quite a bit in our house!

This was such a fun Christmas book!! The rhyming was great for the theme, the artwork was cute and one of my favorite things was there was a twist. In a kids book! Then to add the hidden game feature was even cooler! It is definitely a great book that kids will love to read over and over!!

Wonderful story, of what I assume, is an accurate story of how cats feels about Christmas. The Map to hide from the humans was a nice touch.

I think kids will love reading the story and then going back to really look at the pictures. The addition of mouse and yarn search on every page was a nice touch

I adore this book. I have 2 cats, and this will be our first Christmas with them, so I am a mix of anxious and excited to see how they react to everything.

This story is super cute, and the illustrations are adorable! I love how it lets us see the perspective of the cat and how things in the house changing can be a lot for them. This is a book to keep on the shelves and reread every year we bring out the Christmas tree.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

A cute and colorful book about Christmas from a cats point of view. The end pages give kids a reason to read it again and again to try and find the hidden items on every page.

FIrst I love cats so this is a great book for me even as an adult. I could see my cats thinking exactly like this book at Christmas. The pictures are adorable and fit well with the story. This is a great childrens books, especially if they love cats. Even if they don't love cats, animals and holidays make a great combination! Even better it is part of a series!

Cats Don’t Like Christmas is an adorable story about a cat and all the changes it’s humans make to the house during the holidays. This story is perfect for families experiencing their first, or their fiftieth holiday season with a pet. And for kids who have sensory challenges or other aversions to change, this book could help explain what to expect and open the door to conversations about the cat’s opinions and if the kids agree. I am looking forward to sharing it with my kids during their first Christmas season with their new kitten!

Cute, funny, I will read this to my kids and grandkids.
The illustrations are wonderful and interesting.
I recommend this book to child care centers.

What a fun book! I really liked the illustrations and the story was cute as well. I think kids who like cats are going to love this book. I also found out that the author had a few Cats Don't Like That books, so now I need to go find those to read, too.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this digital ARC!

I loved this book. My son liked the pictures. The cat is funny and shows all the things from a cats point a view

Thank you for the EARC of Cats Don’t Like Christmas. This is the sweetest book about why cats and Christmas. Any kid with a kitty or who likes cats will enjoy this book. I loved all the illustrations plus the fun little game you don’t know about until the end. Will be buying for my nephews!

This is absolutely an adorable book for all ages. The art is awesome, the colors so bright and merry!
Poor cat does not like Christmas but it sure sees some things that make it worthwhile, such as the tree! There is a little hide and seek mouse that we get to find on each page, too!

Thank you #NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for letting me read and review #CatsDontLikeChristmas by Andy Wortlock!

A hilarious tale about a cat who is a complete Scrooge around Christmas. This silly story will get kids laughing during the coldest and darkest months of the year and in the mood for the Christmas season.

This is short, with an easy to follow and easy to read story. The details and little additions you see beyond the text really make it fun to explore each page and there are new little things you notice each time your read it. This would be a great story to read each year and make a new family tradition. The illustrations are cartoonish and vivid to keep the children engaged through the story.

This also has an underlying message of dealing with change and the hustle and bustle around holidays that may be overwhelming for some people. It shows kids that not everyone they meet might be in a festive spirit. It also teaches a great lesson about why real life pets at home may dislike the holidays and things like the lights, tree and ornaments. It can be a great way to teach kids about people with sensory disorders too. Or just read it just for fun.

Make the holiday merry and bright with this book.

4.5 Stars
It’s Christmas time, and the cat of the house doesn’t like it the least bit. The decorations and changes are a little too much for the cat. Poor thing.
The book is short, with just a handful of words on each page. The illustrations are cartoonish, funny, and super cute. A little mouse appears on each page (which I found really cute), only to realize that it was a sort of game for the kids to find it.
The last illustration has a teeny mouse on a teeny bed and two home slippers bedside the bed. Imagine that! This is like another version of Tom & Jerry, lol.
And… Gran has curly purple locks like a mop on her head. The fun part of the book is in the detailing. Another example is the chart with the plan of action made by the cat. The hoomuns are listed on the side with photos.
To summarize, Cats Don't Like Christmas! is a quirky little book showing what cats think of Christmas.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this book immensely. I know my students would get a kick out of the humor being used. My favorite part was at the end, when a character is shown and tells the reader they were on every page. It’s a fantastic idea to re-engage the child and read the book again!

This book was so fun! We have 3 cat in our house, so we are very aware of cats and all the Christmas time shenanigans they get into. This book had catchy lines, beautiful artwork, and it was very easy for my kids to follow along. My kids laughed at everything the cat got into so you know its one they will enjoy reading multiple time throughout Christmas season and even outside of it!

A beyond adorable story following a family cat who is NOT thrilled with Christmas! From the lights being on all night that don't allow for a good night sleep, to granny visiting and petting him roughly and the wrong way- our feline narrator is OVER it before it begins. Like a lot of us, change can be overwhelming at first until we start to see that everything is still OK- not all change is bad!

I loved everything about this book! The rhyming, the silliness, and the illustrations are sure to entertain and engage a young kiddo (and a 32 year old...cough, cough ME cough, cough...!)

This was my first seasonal read for 2022 and it really got me needing more! I know everyone is all about Halloween and Fall, but I say BRING ON THE SNOW AND THE MISTLETOE!

Very excited to follow the Cat's Don't Like books by Andy Wortlock, this was the sweetest story to get me in the Holiday mood

This was a cute Christmas book featuring a grumpy, Christmas disliking cat. I love the hide and seek at the end of the book, I honestly didn't even notice the items until I was told there was one hiding on each page. Then I had to go back and find them all.

A great addition to every Christmas library.

The book cover caught my eye because I have a gray cat we got as a kitten right before Christmas. She was a little stinker as a kitten. She didn’t want to wear a collar so she hid and I went crazy trying to find her. This book reminded me of her. One thing my cats have never done is climb the Christmas tree.

It’s a whimsical Christmas book with a cat who likes to hide when the relatives gather to celebrate. Who can blame her?! They’re noisy and wild. Then the truth comes out about how she really loves the lights and wrappings.

At the end there are a few activities your child can do—find the hidden mouse and yarn on each page, plus a QR code for more fun stuff. The illustrations are clever and sweet.

I received a copy of this book for my opinion.

What a great holiday book for children. The pages have grumbling cat rhymes and fun illustrations. There is even a search activity on each page. It is funny and festive oh, so Merry! Your kids will love it!

This holiday book is adorably delightful. Anyone who has a cat can relate to the feline antics that are captured perfectly in these pages. The silly story and whimsical pictures bring the story to life. Every cat lover and Christmas enthusiast will love this story.

There's an extra touch of added fun searching for a hidden mouse throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you Net Galley and Books Go Social for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thought that this was an enjoyable book and it was plenty of fun!

The story was easy to follow and it was fun to read with my daughter - it was lovely to read and share and we both really enjoyed it

She has recently learnt to read in Reception at school so it was great that we could read it together

The illustrations are lovely and they really bring the story to life too - it is a fun Christmas read and I can't wait to read it again nearer Christmas Day

It is five stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

A rhyming picture book with hilarious illustrations, a Christmassy theme, and a feline main character: what's not to love?!

Cat's Don't Like Christmas is a charmingly written story following one particular cat's grievances with the festive season. He doesn't like the constant out of tune singing and house guests, nor the flashing lights that stop him from sleeping. Naturally, however, he changes his mind by the end of the story and realises how much he DOES like the season! A few more pages would have been welcomed, for example explaining why the cat admits that he likes Christmas, but I admit that I'd just love to see more of Nahum Ziersch's illustrations!

The rhymes are gorgeous, just like all the pictures, and it's the perfect book to get you in the festive spirit. To add to all this, the end pages reveal that an adorable little mouse - and a ball of yarn - are hiding on every page. This gives you an excuse to immediately flick back through the book, though I can almost guarantee you'd have been tempted to do that anyway!

I enjoyed this so much that I'll be looking out for any more books in the 'Cat's Don't Like' series, and I can't wait to get my hands on the original 'Cat's Don't Like That!'

Cats don’t like Christmas was adorable, hilarious, and beautifully illustrated! My 4&5 year olds loved all the silly rhymes and a cat getting up to no good! We also loved the little search and find surprise at the end! Such a great addition to put in your Christmas library for preschool age kiddos! I think anyone older than 5 would lose interest pretty quickly, but great for 5 and under!

Thank you NetGalley for our copy in exchange for my honest feedback!

This was a cute christmassy story for early readers. The illustrations were adorable, and there’s a rhyming pattern throughout to practice phonological awareness skills.

Every kid I know who loves cats or Christmas would get a kick out of this book. The rhythm of the text worked well with the story, and the illustrations helped bring everything together.

This is the perfect quirky little character for a holiday bedtime story. You guess it – this one features a cat that thinks Christmas is way too over hyped. The poor little cat is distracted by all of the shiny ornaments, has had all of his favorite cushions and pillows changed, and is constantly getting stuck in tap, wrapping paper, and ribbons. After listing all of the many reasons the cat doesn’t like Christmas, though….. He ends up admitting that cats don’t just like Christmas… They love it. This one will have the little ones cracking up and holding onto their furry friends for the rest of the holiday season!

I love a good grumpy cat book, but this one certainly has a twist.

A hilarious read for Scrooge’s and Santa’s Elves alike, this picture book looks at Christmas from the perspective of a cat who tells it how it is.

Favourite line: What happened to Silent Night. I hope it gets here soon.

Please note the formatting of this copy wasn’t ideal on Kindle.

Cats don’t like Christmas is the cats POV about the big holiday. It’s silly and is a great read for any kiddo that has cats. Did the cat shred a present under the tree? Read this book. Did the cat climb the tree? Read this book. Did the cat play with the ornaments? Read this book. This is a great book to bring home this Christmas season.

A very cute book about a cat who is starting to stress because Christmas time is here. That means a change to the house with decorations, lots of people, loud music and a tree he can’t play with. But, maybe, just maybe it’s not all that bad!?! Love the illustrations.

This festive story is such a great read for preschool aged kids! As a speech therapist and mom of 2, I can easily see how this book could be used to teach perspective taking and work on making inferences. The illustrations are quality and engaging and the story’s rhyme reads so well!

Perfect book for the holidays for the little cat lovers in your life!! It’s a quick read so perfect for bedtime. The illustrations are so bright and festive your little ones will want to read this over and over!

Myself and my 5 year old son really loved Cats Don't Like Christmas! It is such a fun story with great illustrations and is a great read to get us into the Christmas spirit.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my ARC.

I loved it. It reminded of the first cat my sister had. Fidel. Although he was a tabby cat. This book is so cute, I loved the illustrations. Loved it!

I absolutely love this fun book, and the cheery illustrations. The illustration style is so light hearted.

A great read for any cat lovers. Our cats aren’t too happy when we rearrange things, but they usually get on board when they realize it’s the Christmas “toys” to explore. This is a cute story with lots of scenes to explore together while reading.

My 8 year old daughter chose to read this book based on her love of cats. We also read it together.

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a funny, rhyming book from a cats point of view that doesn't like the changes happening around his house in preparation for the holiday season.

We really enjoyed the silly facial expressions and the cats grumpy thoughts throughout. However, the ending was quick and my daughter said "that's weird" upon realizing the book was over. I thought it had a cute ending, it just took the cat some time to get used to all the changes and realized they weren't so bad after all.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reading Copy of Cat's Don't Like Christmas.

Cats Don't Like Christmas is a rhyming children's book about a cat that does not like the holiday season and all it entails. The cat does not like the change around the house - the decorations are abundant and even his pillows are changed. However, the more the cat thinks about it, the more he finds to love.

With a little hide-and-seek activity for kids, this book will bring a lot of fun for all. The drawings are whimsical and the facial expressions really convey the emotion in this story. A quick story with a holiday flair, Cats Don't Like Christmas is a good book for a gift or a family activity.
