About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child needs a burst of pure, silly fun, especially a child who loves making noises. This delightful book of poetry imagines a giant, joyful gathering of cats on Holler Cat Hill. The simple, rhythmic text is filled with onomatopoeia, describing the purrs, meows, whimpers, and caterwauls that build into a happy uproar. It’s perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-6), celebrating joy, imagination, and the fun of a group.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This book is entirely lighthearted and contains no sensitive material.
Ideal Reader
A toddler or preschooler (ages 2-5) who is highly attuned to sounds, loves rhythm and rhyme, and enjoys participatory reading. It's excellent for a high-energy child who needs a fun outlet or a quiet child who could be encouraged to make some noise.
Parent Prep
No prep is needed, this book can be read cold. Parents should be ready to be expressive, mimic the cat sounds with enthusiasm, and have fun with the rhythm of the poetry. The more performance the parent puts into it, the more a child will enjoy it. The parent feels the day has been too quiet or serious and is looking for a 'silly book' to get the wiggles out. They may have a child who is learning about sounds or just loves cats, and they want a fun, upbeat read-aloud experience.
