BookList ReviewHi, Cat!BooklistFrom Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission. Three read-alongs from Live Oak's extensive line introduce a newer book and two classic titles with clearly read word-for-word narration, both with and without page-turn signals. Joan Lexau's Don't Be My Valentine (Harper, 1952) is a humorous entry in the holiday book category. Hi, Cat! (Macmillian, 1970), by Ezra Jack Keats, tells of a cat's ruinous interference with an improvised neighborhood street show. Ruth Krauss' A Hole Is to Dig (Harper, 1952) is an amusing "dictionary of first definitions." The narrator of this last title has the clearest and most effective voice of all three selections. For all the books, sound effects are kept to a minimum but are just right. The guide for each is well done. These versatile library resources can be used individually or with groups. Ages 4-8. --Jean Silady
