Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Nature Cat
Spiffy Entertainment · 2021
65/100
👎 Skip It
The press-out ornaments and cards are a genuine plus for young fans, and the Dickens-inspired structure is a charming frame for a holiday episode. But this is a tie-in adaptation of a TV special, not an original picture book — the story's appeal depends almost entirely on whether the child already loves Nature Cat from PBS. For families new to the character, there are stronger standalone holiday picture books to choose from.
