Silly and just adorable with the juxtaposition of the real photographs and computer graphics. This cat-lover does wish, however, that the story could have been changed to a happier ending for Kat Kong!

A throwback to my childhood when I was first convinced of just how hilarious Captain Underpants was. The puns are ridiculous, the images goofy. Still made me smile.

An adorable book by the author of Dogman and Captain Underpants with NO potty talk! I didn’t think it possible! Pilkey takes photos of his three pet mice and his cat to create a story based upon King Kong. Puns and cuteness galore!

It was practically purrfect

Well, this is pretty stupid, but I can't help but think, "dang, now why didn't I think of that?!"

2.5 stars. I mean, I enjoy a cute, goofy, silly cat book. But this children's book was over the top. Way too over the top corny.

I saw a copy of Kat Kong by Dav Pilkey in the bookstore and had to grab it. The cover shows a tuxedo house cat looming over a city skyline. Having seen King Kong more times than I can count, you can understand why I laughed and then squeed.
Kat Kong is the sequel (apparently) to Dog Zilla but I haven't read it. I'm not as much of a dog person as I am a cat person. Besides, King Kong came first!
In this version Dr. Varmint and his assistant Rosie Rodent have made and captured a giant cat monster. Like his predecessor, chains and ropes can't hold the great Kat Kong and soon he is let loose on the city.
It's a cute cat and mouse parody of an old horror classic. My children who haven't had the pleasure of seeing the original were less impressed with the book. Harriet liked the giant cat but Sean could take or leave the book.

These book stand the test of time and I love them. Pilkey takes real pictures of his pet cat and his (i'm assuming) pet mice and creates a story. Then he fills in the illustration to round out the tale. It’s so unique, but also so much fun. And his wordplay and puns just ramp up the story.

The original King Kong film has been recast by the author with his pet mice and cat. He’s made some terribly silly collage illustrations. To these terribly silly pictures he has added some terribly silly text. LOL!!
