It’s bathtime for Cat, but Cat is hiding by contorting his body behind different shapes. Housemates Kitty and Puppy seek out cat’s hiding places and eventually get Cat in the bathtub. Cute and comical  illustrations, including the many shapes that Cat takes, but this book will take quite a bit of additional comments and questions in order for a young child to understand what is going on and where Cat is hiding. Not that this is a bad thing but just something the readers should be aware of before reading. The text primarily is a repetition of “Where’s Cat?” and “There’s Cat.” The end pages are helpful,  with the front being 9 shapes of different colors and labeled and the back end page depicting the cat contorted into those shapes . It will be fun to find those shapes in story.
