SPLAT the Cat is a character in a series of books written by Rob Scotton. We love his illustrations and in his latest book, Merry Christmas, Splat!, Splat is especially cute. At the end of this story Splat opens his present and he looks VERY happy. It said it was the best present ever but we couldn't see what it was and the author didn't tell us. We were left to imagine what might have been in the box. The children came up with some awesome ideas and were very motivated to write about what they thought Splat received. Some ideas were: a hotdog, a new bowl, a mouse, a toy, cheese Whiz, a new owner, a couch, some holly, treats and a dog. Great work boys and girls and thank you to Rob Scotton for writing such an awesome book.
