A simple story about a cat who is happy being flat. He can go anywhere or do anything he pleases and likes it this way. But when he falls into the washer and dryer by accident, he comes out all big, cute and fluffy. Everyone takes notice (just what he doesn't like) and gives him hugs, squeezes and squishes. He eventually turns back to a flat cat but realizes that he might be missing all the extra attention he was getting.
Flat Cat has learned that he likes the best of both worlds in this silly and funny story. The sentences are short and flow nicely for a fun read-aloud. The whimsical illustrations are large and in eye pleasing colors of purple, pink and teals. Flat cat has many different expressions throughout that are cute and amusing. I noticed the author has put a note on the first page about not harming cats and they don't belong in laundry machines. A good discussion point for a younger audience. All-in-all, it is a silly and humorous book to break up the day. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 5-7.~
