Book Review Tara Lazar's FLAT CAT and FLAT CAT: THE CLASS PET

 

Flat Cat illustrated by Pete Oswald  

With Flat Cat and Flat Cat:The Class Pet Tara Lazar has written a pair of quirky, funny picture books that one will want to read over and over again. Ms. Lazar’s imagination delights as Flat Cat flips and floats from one adventure to the next. New York Times best seller, Pete Oswald rendered Flat Cat’s amusing antics using painted textures and computer software. Ms. Lazar uses alliteration, rhyme and a varied vocabulary to tell Flat Cat’s stories.  

Both books were published by Flamingo Books an imprint of Penguin Random House in 2023 and 2025, respectively. These books were purchased, read and given to nieces who are far too young to read this blog.

In addition to writing humorous books, Ms. Lazar created, hosts and coordinates Storystorm, an online, picture book idea generating fest, which takes place in January. Storystorm doubles as a picture book masterclass with a variety of published authors as guest contributors.
