Catch That Cat: 08/26/13

Catch That Cat by Monika Beisner is a beginner's riddle book. Built around the theme of cats and beautifully illustrated, this book is a collection of optical illusions, simple ciphers, and hidden picture puzzles.

For emergent readers Catch the Cat is a good read-together book. That's what Harriet and I did the first time through the book. I thought I would need to help her with the riddles but she was able to get most of them on her own.

Later as her reading improved she continued to re-read Catch that Cat. I think we kept it out of the library for the full nine weeks we were allowed. It received many re-reads in that time.
