Gato gordo

Big Cat likes to nap--but his family has other ideas in this beginning reader, now in Spanish!

A pair of rowdy siblings wake up their furry friend to play, and proceed to carry him around the house--no matter how the cat feels about it. They love Big Cat, and it's clear Big Cat loves them, too. . . even if he doesn't love flying or playing dress-up.

With five words or less per page, this story is simple enough to be the first book a child reads on their own--and funny enough to become a favorite. Geisel Medalist Ethan Long's illustrations of the big-bellied feline and his enthusiastic human pals bring Big Cat's adventures to life.
