Review

Ugly Cat & Pablo is not a typical cat and mouse story as these two are friends. Sprinkled with Spanish words this is a fast paced silly adventure story that is sure to delight early readers. Not really needed as the content tells the story, the glossary is a nice touch. Fans will be happy to find a recipe for the much loved paletas de coco. Knight's illustrations add to the comic feel of the text, the pictures definitely compliment the text. This is a satisfying read that appears to be the first in an early reader series. Recommended to primary school librarians and to parents of early readers.

Overall Book Score: good
