A perfect story for Superbowl weekend. Splat’s dad is a little down because his soccer team is not winning. Splat decides to enter the school competition and win the three legged race with his dad. That will make him glad. But you know Splat. Things didn’t go as anticipated.

Author Alissa Hayman continues Rob Scotton's Splat the Cat legacy with this one that has Splat and his dad in a three legged race that could have our Splatty become the one legged kitty cat in a butt kicking contest! At a state fair, Splat and Dad are competing against their ol' frenemy Spike in everything from egg tosses to ten meter jumps etc. Splatty wants to gladden dad, since Dad, a former soccer hero, lost his last game and hasn't felt quite empowered to channel his inner Pele again. Splatty is convinced, though, that he and dad could win the three leg! Can it be done, or can Splatty realize that it's not about winning, it's about having fun? Splatty still dominates, even with another author taking charge! How can anyone darken or otherwise screw up something as cool as Splat the Cat? It's not like JJ Abrams is taking over, right? .......RIIIIIGHT???Four starsSplatty still a kick in the grass!

This was a cute book all about how a kitten could make his cat dad glad. I would recommend this book to any parents with little kids and even teachers of young children. This book is perfect for new readers as it is a very simple book. Some things are unusual such as them having a pet mouse , other than that, this is a cute book for kids!

When Splat finds out his dad's soccer team lost their last game, he knows his dad will be disappointed. To cheer him up, Splat enters the two of them in his school's game day -- something he's sure his dad will enjoy. But the day doesn't go quite as planned. Splat won't give up, though. He's going to make sure his dad is glad, no matter what.I love that Splat cares so deeply about his dad's sadness that he goes out of his way to make him glad again, and when his attempts fail (as far as he knows, that is) he is disappointed but keeps trying. His determination, creativity, and empathy set a good example for children, and also make for an entertaining read. The lively illustrations add to the fun, and may even inspire a few giggles.

This review was written by my little sister Josie.Splat the cat wanted to do a race because he found out that his dad won a race with his dad (Splat’s grandfather). Splat wanted to win with his dad to make him proud. Splat practiced really, really hard with his friend mouse (that part was funny). Something went wrong and Splat and his dad lost the race. His dad smiled because they had fun and spent time together and that was better than winning the race. I liked that part the best. I really like Splat the cat a lot. I think little kids who are just learning to read will like this book.*Note* We got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Splat tries to cheer his dad up after his dad's favorite team suffers a big loss... and suffers a few of his own. But his dad appreciates the effort, as any good dad will, smiling and laughing at each of his son's mishaps, and helping him on to the next event. When they finally wash up, Splat apologizes, and is surprised by his dad's response. A great book for daddies and their little ones, to remind both of them that the best thing they could have is each other.

Our latest Splat the Cat acquisition, this book was an enjoyable read. My kids both got into the story, pointing things out and asking questions. My beginning reader struggled with some of the words, but repetition helped and he was getting most of them by the end. It's a good book to supplement speech therapy, with all of the terminal 'd' sounds.

A great beginner reader for fans of Splat the Cat (and who isn't?). Splat wants to make is dad happy after his dad's team loses the soccer game, so Splat signs them up for Cat games. The usual characters are there: Mrs. Wimpydimple, Plank, and even Spike. Splat doesn't win all the cat games, but he does learn a quick lesson in sportsmanship.
