Rat-a-tat-tat! I've Lost My Cat! Amazon Reviews
“My daughters love to read this book with me. We take turns making up voices and crack each other up. Shelton Walsmith's expressive paintings have a personal quirkiness that together with the exuberant text and great layout produce something far more special than a plaything. This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves to read with their kids.” - Amazon

“Playful, rhythmic, and catchy! Rat-a-tat-tat has all of the elements needed for a picture book that children will ask to read over and over again! And the illustrations are so expressive and inviting! A must for the family library!” - Amazon
“This picture book features delightful repetitive rhyme, rich and layered artwork, and stylistic layout. Both my children have enjoyed it as a frequent bedtime read; however, my younger daughter is a cat lover and it is among her chosen favorites!” - Amazon
“I just read Rat-a-tat-tat to a group of 9mo. to 7 year olds who loved the illustrations and realized how unusual they were. They participated without urging to the language joining me in the refrains with great delight. Then they took the book and individually or in twos read through it turning the pages and examining the illustrations carefully. What a delightful book!! Thanks Denny Taylor.” - Amazon
“Recently two friends, ages five and three, and I read the amazing picture book, Rat-a-tat-tat! I’ve Lost My Cat! written by the distinguished literacy researcher and writer, Denny Taylor. The illustrations by Shelton Walsmith elicited smiles and laughter from the readers who immediately became involved in the pursuit of the lost cat(s). The children were fairly singing the familiar words including the refrain, ‘Fancy that!” - Amazon
