My Review
Splat The Cat was one of the first books that I ever purchased for my daughter from her classrooms Scholastic book order. I actually found it among her collection of books that she had been reading before bed every night. So you can only imagine how ecstatic she was when we discovered that there was a holiday feature for this well loved book! In addition to the adorable Merry Christmas, Splat clip, there are several other great holiday stories to get your children in the holiday spirit this season. This DVD has instantly become one of my children’s favorite movies to watch for their free movie time each day and it has defiantly gotten us in the holiday spirit.
