I "read" this as an e-book read aloud by Elijah Wood on Storyline Online. I found the story to be fun and relate-able, as I have often wondered what it would be like to become one of my cats for a day. In terms of an e-book, I think Elijah Wood did not do the best job of narrating the story. He wasn't bad, but he also left something to be desired in that he did not use a lot of excitement or expression in his voice while reading. There were a few moments that lacked enthusiasm. Most likely, he has little experience reading to kids, which is why is reading is lack-luster. However, the Storyline Online site provides many good resources for this book and I had fun thinking about the premise of the story. Ages 6 and up. ( )
