Synopsis:

Meow is definitely not a cat. Cats lick their butts. Follow along as this wild child’s unique way of following instructions ends up going a little bananas.

Meow Is Not Cat is a completely goofy story, guaranteed to make kids laugh. With a cynical cat, wild monkeys, butt jokes, and a banana cannon, even pre-readers will love shouting out their favorite parts as you read aloud. Nestled among the laughs is a lesson about how embracing a person’s different way of interpreting the world can lead to surprisingly good results —and bananas, lots of bananas.

Meow Is Not a Cat is a quirky children's picture book about a young girl whose nickname is "Meow." She tends not to listen to her teacher and does really absurd things all the time, but in the end it's her unusual nature that saves the day. The story was very original and a quick read. I personally like when picture books have a nice rhyme scheme but this book didn't go with that writing style. I felt that there wasn't a natural flow to the story and that made it a little harder to get into. The illustrations were bright and went along perfectly with the plot. There was a nice mix of full page pictures and smaller images alongside the text. I think this is an unique book that young children who enjoy being read to as well as kids learning how to read themselves will like.
