Common Sense Media Review

Splat the Cat's friends Spike and Plank are coming over to play games. Splat is excited to play with them . . . until everything starts to go wrong! First he trips and falls in Mouse, Mouse, Cat--and then he can't find a good hiding spot in hide-and-seek. Readers will delight as Splat finds a way to have fun in the end.

The Name of the Game is a perfect story for kids just learning to read, with bright, vivid illustrations and an easy-to-follow text full of Splat's signature humor!
