My Cat Looks Like My Dad

by Thao Lam

Kids' Book of the Week , April 1, 2019

"Family is what you make it": Thao Lam's third picture book (and her first with words) takes an unexpected route to that final line, making a convincing and hilarious case for the dad/cat resemblance (they both love belly rubs and neither of them replaces the toilet paper roll) with her distinctive paper-collage illustrations before springing a sweet and thought-provoking surprise. Delightful. (Age 0 to 5)
