Summary: Great Book For Kids and Parents
Review: Beautiful illustrations will catch every child's attention while they learn to recognize colors, numbers, objects and animals. The learning doesn't stop there.Simple lessons have a surprise message for children and parents in this wonderful little book. It was a gift to me and I am buying additional copies to give as gifts.

Summary: Fantastic book!!! Great social story for whining!!!
Review: I have twin 4 year olds who are constantly whining. This is a beautifully-written and illustrated book that teaches you get NOTHING when you whine, and you are rewarded for good behavior. I read it to my boys last night and they loved it. This morning, when one of my boys started whining, I said, "What do you get when you whine?" He replied, "Nothing... I'm sorry." A lesson also for parents to be consistent and to remain calm instead of yelling at your kids to stop (which never works). I'm already convinced that with repeated reading and consistent parenting (you can never give in) the whining will stop! Thanks for this book, and PLEASE write more!!!!

Summary: Excellent teaching resource and kids love it!
Review: I received this book as a gift for my children and thought it would be just another picture book. However, I was impressed with the sense of family values that were present throughout the illustrations. It taught a good lesson about whining that the kids immediately picked up on. It also had neat ways of teaching little ones their colors and numbers. The kids have had me read it over and over. I recommend this book to anyone with small children or grandchildren!

Summary: A better way of writing childerens books
Review: This book is about Mamma cat, Daddy Cat and their 3 childeren and their adventures during a typical day. The book also teaches childeren a lesson about why it is not good behavior to whine.
My daughter loves this book. We started reading it to her when she was about 16 months old. Her attention span was not quite ready at that time, but within a week or two she really started to love it. Now if we say "What do you get when you whine?" our daughter answers "Nothing!" enthusiastically like the characters in the book! She loves the cat family, the detailed colorful pictures, and all the places the cat family visits during the day.
As a parent I like this book because it is different than ALL the other books my Daughter has. The pictures and plot are both different. The plot teaches my little girl how to behave and woven into the plot are simple learning activities like colors, numbers, large, small etc. The colors used in the pictures are interesting and bright but not neon and hyperactive like so many other childerens books. Also the pictures are made such that they look like each one was painted induvidually by hand from oil paints (they have brush strokes). Finally I feel that this book will continue to be interesting to my daughter as she gets older. I, my wife and daughter can't wait for the next book by Janice and Joyce!
