The Fat Can Sat on the Mat by Nurit Karlin

This is an illustrated poem for younger elementary students. It tells the story of a conflict between a cat and a rat that happens while the master of the house, a witch, is away.
The main purpose of this book is to teach simple rhymes and plays on words through pictures and easy to read words. I think children would enjoy this book because of how it sounds when it is read aloud (all the rhyming words make it almost song-like). I would probably keep this book in the classroom but not bother reading aloud to the whole class because although it is somewhat entertaining I don't think it that's special.
