Reception
A review in Kirkus Reviews of Matilda's Cat wrote "A master of animal countenance, Gravett pairs an expressive cat with a busy kid and winks at the difference between textual and visual message", and Booktrust wrote that "Gravett’s illustrations in this funny and touching picture book are as delightful as ever." Matilda's Cat has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, 
Booklist, School Library Journal, Horn Book Guides, Library Media Connection, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. It was long-listed for the 2013 Kate Greenaway Medal . References
