The book is about giving a cat a cupcake and watching his imagination grow. The book goes through many things that the cat will want to go with the cupcake. It talks about wanting sprinkles and while waiting for them he will want to go to the beach where he will fill a sand bucket too heavy to pick up and so then he goes to the gym. The book just goes through things the cat will do. This is a cute book for children. I would use this book for children in kindergarten. I am not sure how or if this book could be tied into a lesson in the classroom. (  ) alprince | Oct 19, 2009 |  This is a good sequence book to read with young children, it starts with a cat wanting a cupcake then wanting sprinkles and goes all around the world and back to the original story line. It is a fun picture book that could hold attention of young kids for a quick read-aloud to fill in extra time. Overall a cute, bright, colorful and fun book to read. (  ) kperk12 | Oct 11, 2009 | The series of events is not as believable or logical as the first few books in this series. ( ) asomers | Aug 15, 2009 | If you give a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it. When you give him the sprinkles, he might spill some on the floor. Cleaning up will make him hot, so you'll give him a bathing suit . . . and that's just the beginning! The lovable cat who first appeared in If You Give a Pig a Party now has his very own book! Written in the tradition of the bestselling If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's newest story will show everyone that Cat is where it's at! (  ) sriches | Jul 10, 2009 | This book is best for children in first or second grade. It is about a cat who gets a cupcake, but keeps wanting something else with it. This is a good book to let students read by themselves that are just learning how to read. It is simple enough for them to read alone. aswideman | Apr 8, 2009 | 
 If you give an adorable gray kitten a supporting role in a popular series, he'll cry out for a lead-and thus, this latest entry from Numeroff and Bond, which features a cat that first appeared in If You Give a Pig a Party. Like its predecessors, the story bubbles with cascading "if... then" silliness: a girl's granting of a cupcake, for example, leads to a request for sprinkles, which causes a mess; cleaning up gets the cat overheated, which prompts a trip to the beach, and so forth. Some of the connections feel forced even for this series (a ride on a merry-go-round whale inspires a wish to go to a science museum), but the vivacity of the drawings and pertness of the kitty protagonist make up for the shortcomings. Besides, a lot of the series' appeal can be credited to the competency and ingenuity of the various human enablers in the books. While sometimes baffled by the goings-on, the girl in these pages is able to roll with the punches-unlike many adults. Final art not seen by PW. Ages 3-7. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights PreS-Gr 2 This story begins with a girl, a cat that originally appeared in Numeroff's If You Give a Pig a Party (HarperCollins, 2005), and a cupcake. The cat asks for some sprinkles, and naturally, they spill on the floor. Cleaning them up makes the cat hot, so he asks for a bathing suit, and hijinks ensue. The resulting series of events leads the protagonist and the cat to the beach, into a boat, through an amusement park, and eventually back to the sprinkles and another cupcake. The familiar madcap illustrations contrast a gleefully mischievous gray cat with a bemused blond girl. The tone is wry, and the story features the zany childhood logic of the earlier titles by this creative team. The concept is beginning to wear thin, but the book will be popular among fans of the series.-Rachael Vilmar, Eastern Shore Regional Library, Salisbury, MD
