Colin and Jacqui Hawkins first created Pat the Cat to help their daughter to learn to read. The rhyming split pages helped her to recognise lots of new words simply by changing a single letter as she turned each page. She quickly caught on to the basic mechanics of reading. The Hawkins then went on to produce Jen the Hen Mig the Pig Tog the Dog and Zug the Bug (also available from Dorling Kindersley). Teachers recognised the books as excellent introductions to reading and reviewers compared them to Dr Seuss. Children loved their rhyming humour. And parents have been using them successfully ever since!

Darling Book
My 4 year old loves this book. She can read the large main words. And she loves hearing the things the worms are saying. They are really funny.

Great book for 4 year old, just a very worn and well used copy
Purchased this for my 4 year old. Wonderful book to start helping her learn to read. The book came quickly. The only complaint is that the book is very well used. Several pages had been drawn on with pen. On one page there were scribble pen marks all over the dogs face. Reminded me of a very used old library book.
