About this deal

Lots of cats all around the world do exciting things like fly aeroplanes or play the violin - but my cat, an ordinary round-the-house cat, likes to hide in boxes. These two qualities of art work very well together in this piece to make the reader know that this really doesn’t happen. My teacher read this to our class in year two and then we performed it as a kind of play, each child dressed up as one of the cats. I'm including this book as part of my story time assessment for my Diploma, and if my experience here at home is anything to go by, I might do well!

The repetition in the story gives plenty of opportunities for little ones to learn the rhymes and join in. My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes is a cumulative story so all the previous cat rhymes are repeated after a new one has been introduced. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. The rhymes aren't earth-shattering but they're cute; the pictures are uncluttered with clear lines and colours.

The lively illustrations by Hairy Maclary creator Lynley Dodd are sure to appeal to cat lovers of all ages. The writing is mostly rhyme and repetition, with wonderful rhythmic quality and wittiness in dialogue. It introduces cats from all over the world – fancy felines from France and suave cats from Spain – but all are eclipsed by the narrator's cat who likes to hide in boxes.

The message is lovely - other people (cats, sure) may be glamorous and able to do exciting things, but just plain and ordinary is perfect. Not only does the new item smell different, but your cat is also curious to see what the purpose of the new item is in their home. Cats don’t have in-built conflict resolution strategies, so they much prefer to hide from their problems. There are so many reasons that can explain why cats think boxes are irresistible, but largely it comes down to the fact that they are enclosed spaces.

There are lots of reasons that cats love boxes, but the main one is because they’re confined, enclosed spaces.
