Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. A thoroughly charming read-aloud for the youngest listeners.-Patti Gonzales, Los Angeles Public Library (c) Copyright 2010. The expansive, color-filled backgrounds and black outlines make it easy for small eyes to view the central action of each picture. Glimpses of a tricycle and teddy bear in a front yard, red boots and a bear on a kitchen floor, and fingers poking through fur lead up to the happy ending, and prompt the question, "Does a child live in this house?" As in Mockford's What's This? (Barefoot, 2000), the bright acrylic illustrations have a childlike quality and create a visual environment that welcomes involvement and captures attention. The spare text ("Cleo wakes/Cleo winks/Cleo yawns/Cleo blinks") follows the feline through her day. PreS-Simple, bold illustrations and a short rhyming text characterize this endearing tale about a cat that finds a friend and a home.
