Captain Cat is a 2012 children's picture book by Inga Moore. It is about a sea captain, Captain Cat, who trades goods in exchange for cats, and his ensuing adventures.
Kirkus Reviews wrote "Though it’s on the long side, Moore’s tale combines traditional themes and spritely illustrations to create a satisfying, offbeat adventure." [1] A reviewer stated in The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This would be a cozy classroom readaloud selection or a comfy bedtime story; having a couple of kitties on hand would, of course, enrich the experience.", [2]
Captain Cat has also been reviewed by BookPage, [3] Magpies, [4] The New York Foundling, [5] The Guardian, [6] The New York Times, [7] Publishers Weekly, [8] The Oklahoman [9] The Morning Call, [10] Booklist, [11] School Library Journal, [12] and Horn Book Guides. [13]
Moore's sprawling mixed media spreads create a vivid, detailed world, and the quirky story charms.
This is a generous story that children will find easy to digest, and it is, in the lightest possible way, about the holiness of the heart's affections.
A direct descendant of British-style exploits from Nesbit to Dahl—and with plenty of room to unfold leisurely, as befits a voyage of exploration—this is an adventure readers will savor.
This pleasing picture book features an idyllic, original adventure story, told with wit and illustrated with grace.
The story is not as well defined; it has a slightly rambling plot that slowly drifts to a close, but will still appeal to cat lovers and young readers who enjoy an adventure story.
This thin story is bulked up by the mixed-media illustrations, which are rich with personality and detail.
