Texts by various authors. Illustrations by various artists. This collection, based on Scotton's characters, includes two picture books (Back to School, Splat!; The Perfect Present for Mom & Dad) and four easy readers (Splat the Cat Sings Flat; Good Night, Sleep Tight; Splat the Cat and the Duck with No Quack; Splat the Cat Takes the Cake), plus two appended games. The silly stories are slight; the quirky illustrations have an oddball appeal.
