Isobel and her grandmother are looking for her grandmother’s lost glasses, when Isobel finds a very large cat in the backyard. Though the cat is much different from her grandmother’s other cats, Isobel thinks it’s great fun while her grandmother is completely oblivious and wondering why they keep running out of food.

The story of this book is ok, but the illustrations are just messy and distracting. They’re very colorful, but they just don’t help the story. The text is also strewn about some of the pages making it hard to know which part to read first. Overall, a cute idea, but the execution just misses the mark. This book would be good for K-2nd grade readers as a read aloud.
