The stories included are extremely basic, but for a reason; this book is meant as a very first reader. Connecting the concepts of the words with the images helps a child to understand – H, O, T means hot, like the cat in the picture. Although incredibly simple, Dale's stories are also a little daft so they are still fun. Capizzi is able to capture this sense of lightness in the drawings. This makes a book that could have felt like my first academic text, actually feel like my first special book just for me.
For parents who are worried about how they can help their child develop their reading, Maverick have has included a section for both stories about the book's aims, what the important words are and the type of questions you may want to ask. All children will develop at different rates and the fact that all the Early Learner books are part of a staggered progression means that you can buy the book that suits your child. I can certainly recommend ''Cool Cat and Lots of Hats'' as a very first emerging reader book; it is simple, but also simply fun.
There are loads of great books in the Early Reader series; [[Bamboo and I Wish (Early Reader) by Alice Hemming and Julia Seal]], and [[Buzz and Jump! Jump! (Early Reader) by Alice Hemming and Louise Forshaw]] , amongst them. We can also recommend [[A Scarf and a Half (Early Reader) by Amanda Brandon and Catalina Echeverri]].
