Publisher Description

It's Splat's first day of school and he's worried. What if he doesn't make any new friends? Just in case, Splat decides to bring along his pet mouse, Seymour, and hides him in his lunchbox. The teacher, Mrs. Wimpydimple, introduces Splat to the class and he soon starts learning all his important cat lessons. But when Seymour escapes and the cats do what cats do (they chase mice!), Splat's worried again. Maybe now he'll lose all his friends, old and new! Just in time, wise Mrs. Wimpydimple takes charge and teaches everyone an important new lesson. Maybe Cat School is going to be okay after all!

"Oh Splat! I love to read this book to kindergarten kids who are about to start school! They just get it. Plus, they love the little mouse and when all the cats in Splat's class chase the mouse. What a great book for read alouds and to share with young kids!"

Quotes

  • “Rambunctious, filled with superbly executed details…this book not only gets its job done, it completely transcends its agenda.”

    — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
  • “This lighthearted story, told with a generous helping of humor and goofy characterizations, will have broad appeal…Splat is a welcome addition to the first-day-jitters canon and a fun book to read any time of year.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “Splat…is a hoot with his spindly legs, flyaway fur and highly expressive tail. Sure to stir things up at storytime.”

    — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
