Summary
From the award-winning, bestselling picture book creator of My Car, My Bus, and My Bike comes what Booklist called “Another ideal read-aloud choice from Barton.”
Jim the cat takes a tour of the various rooms and objects in his house, introducing young children to the concept of home. A modern preschool classic in board book format.
Using bright, simple illustrations and clean prose, Byron Barton deftly familiarizes young readers with the various rooms and important parts of a house in this companion to his critically acclaimed My Car, My Bike, and My Bus.
Jim the cat leads readers through the bedroom, the kitchen—and even onto the roof—before his owner, Jane, comes home and makes his dinner. The rhythmic text and bright bold illustrations make this the perfect book for very young children and repeated readings.
“Jim’s abode is a welcome place for all who enter.”—School Library Journal
Additional text
“The very short sentences and simple vocabulary make this perfect for a toddler or preschool audience but also accessible to beginning readers. The bold, blocky illustrations…are childlike in their rendering…cat-loving kiddos will find this installment in Barton’s oeuvre especially attractive.”
