This one really made an impression on my kid. We read it just a few times (you know, maybe 3 to 5 times -- relatively few for the toddler set) but months later she still periodically references the cat on the moon. So I guess that makes this one a stand-out. ( )

Oscar feels wild, and ends up on the moon. How will he get home to his boy? ( )

Oscar the cat loves to jump places where he can see everything. He jumps so high that he makes it to the moon where he meets some mooncats. After playing and having fun, he's ready to come home but the mooncats try to convince him to stay. Oscar hitches a ride on the back of a cow and makes it back home to "his boy." Pictures are bold, detailed and drawn from interesting perspectives. I enjoyed the use of adjectives but thought some of the word choice too advanced for this age group- peak, scolded, pearly, etc. Mooncats and space cow are a little far-fetched but will remind parents of forbidden fruit or Sirens.

a cat tells the story about his boy, and how he hopped away from him all the way to the moon, then found his way back. Sweet story. Great preK-1st ( )
