Reviews: Boots board books

This review was first appeared in Publishers Weekly, March 23, 1998 v245 i12 p101(1)

   Chronicling Boots the cat's domestic adventures, A Friend for Boots by Satoshi Kitamura greets a series of potential cohorts among the toys scattered around the house; Bath-time Boots considers a search for hiding places when it's time to get wet. Wry cartoon illustrations with bold outlines introduce the huge-eyed, somewhat daffy cat.

   In general, cats hate baths, and Boots will do anything to avoid a scrubdown. He searches for a good hiding place, but the cupboard and chair don't offer sufficient cover. In desperation, he leaps into the bathtub to hide, literally finding himself in hot water. Boots is a funny looking, pyramid-eared cat whose droll expressions and simple adventures will hit home with small children. With its companion, A Friend for Boots, this one joins Kitamura's other board books (Duck Is Dirty, Cat Is Sleepy, etc., 1996) in offering some very brief but jovial outings for toddlers.
