K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robert Eberz.
Text by Laura Driscoll. Lovable, frazzled cat Splat is a good problem-solver, whether he is mopping up a giant ice cream disaster (I Scream) or saving the day with his preparedness on a Cat Scouts trip (Hotshot). Occasional internal rhymes within the simple texts will help new readers through the fairly slim stories. Energetic, humorous illustrations by Eberz (in Scotton's style) always steal the show. Review covers the following I Can Read Book titles: Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream and Splat the Cat and the Hotshot.
