|summary=Splat is back for another adventure, still trying to woo Kitten, still having problems along the way. An easy read for little ones.
}}
This is the latest in a series of books about Splat the Cat, so he’s obviously a popular character, and it’s easy to see why. He is cheeky and lively and really tries, but sometimes there are little hiccups in his adventures, which make him all the more lovable. At the same time the fact that this book is more for nursery school children than junior school ones means it’s a slightly odd subject to choose. Not the aquarium trip, which makes sense and is fun, but the emerging crush on Kitten. It just seems a smidge mature for this age group. After all, I didn’t have my first wedding until I was well into Year 4.
This aside, it is a fun book that is easy to read aloud. Splat and his friends are not especially attractive cats but kids will no doubt love them, and it’s fun to giggle at the ways cats are made more human, for example , Splat with his backpack, and Kitten with the bow in her hair.
Little ones will enjoy Splat’s latest adventure, and it’s nice that it’s one of a series so if they really fall in love there are other books out there for them to enjoy.
