This was a fun book I had never read before. It tells the story of a girl named Clara who stays up every day waiting for her cat to come back inside. She keeps hearing scratches and noises at the door, and when you lift the flap, it's revealed who was actually at the door - a porcupine, a penguin, even a robot - soon, so many creatures have show up that they decide to have a party and after everyone leaves, her cat finally comes home. I always loved books with flaps and other interactive features; I think it's really fun for kids. A fun book. ( )

Pure fun. The heroine is waiting for her cat to home, but lots of other things (a penguin, some familiar-looking dwarves, a robot, and others...) come knocking instead, so they have a party. Sweet, positive, amusing, nothing terribly deep going on here, but a good time is had by all. ( )
