Review

Splat the Cat wants to get the prize for the scariest cat costume at cat school on Halloween, so his Mom helps him to make a pretty scary costume. He goes off to school with his jack-o-lantern and his mouse, Seymour. He meets Spike and Plank on the way and they look pretty scary, too. They don't think Splat looks the least bit frightening. At school, chaos reigns supreme and Splat ends up scaring himself AND his classmates half to death. All ends well. The illustrations are spot on complement the text and are expressive and amusing. Splat the Cat lovers will be pleased with this new addition to the collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
