There are cats in this book By Viviane Schwarz


This book is just plain cute. I would recommend it for younger readers. It is simple in its presentation of three cats, Tiny, Moonpie, and Andre, who invite the readers in to play with them. The pages have overlapping flaps that keep revealing surprises. First you wake the cats from under their blanket and they say, "Huh?", "Hello. Who are YOU?", "Are you NICE?", "You LOOK nice.", "And STRONG. Could you turn a whole PAGE?", "Because there's YARN on the next page. LOOK!" And so on! You'll encounter pillows, fish, you'll have to blow the cats dry, and tuck them in. The illustrations are done with collage, watercolor, and simple lines. It will become a favorite for little ones. And cat lovers.
