“How to Teach Your Cat a Trick in Five Easy Steps” by Nicola Winstanley

Illustrated by Zoe Si

Every Dog has His Day, and so do Cats!

Is this a children’s book that also appeals to adults?

Or, an adult book that children will like as well.

This tongue-in-cheek book tells the story of a little boy who is sure he can teach his cat, Einstein, to do tricks—in five easy steps no less!  As the tale goes on, it is clear that Noodles, the dog, is very trainable.  While Einstein ignores every direction, Noodles is somewhere in the background following instructions to the letter.

After lots of frustration, and many attacks to the sofa by Einstein, the little boy discovers there is one trick Einstein can do.  My cat will also perform it!

Children will like this story of cat training gone wrong that is done in picture book format.  Expect a lot of giggles when reading this with little ones through age seven.  Smiles will abound when Einstein will do his one trick—especially if there is a cat in the family.

On the other hand, this book will be enjoyed by adults who appreciate humor, even in tales geared toward youngsters.  I suggest this five-star book will be a hit for many ages, especially cat lovers of all sizes.  If you are a cat owner, it is definitely a fall-out-of-your- chair laughing tale!
