Kat Kong is an entertaining parody on King Kong. Students may not know this original story, but they are inspired and excited by Kat Kong. The author uses his personal pets as characters in this action-packed adventure. This is a fun read aloud and inspires young writers to practice creative writing. ( )

As a fan of anything cats or weird cat photos, I've seen this in the library while shelving and thought to myself, yes you need to read this book. I'm glad I did! It was definitely silly, cute and all together a great read! Loved the little quotes in the book that not everyone may get. Recommended for kids of all ages. ( )

The original King Kong film has been recast by the author with his pet mice and cat. He’s made some terribly silly collage illustrations. To these terribly silly pictures he has added some terribly silly text. LOL!! ( )

Kat Kong was one of my favorite stories when I was younger because of the illustrations as well as the puns that were inserted into the story. The book uses a cat as a giant monster, almost like King Kong. The book takes place in a large city, somewhere I always wanted to live as a child. The book provides a humorous read as well as brings in some vocabulary words for children to learn. Even though this book is almost 14 years old, it still gets read by students all the time. ( )
