The media could not be loaded.
Easy read! It’s filled with fun illustrations. The story line encounters many different animals and is enjoyable to young children!
Paula –
The illustrations were great and it is truly a “picture book” in that there is little text.
Elizabeth Mcbride –
The art in this is just amazing. I bought it for an adult tattoo artist.. I’m going to buy a copy for me.
Perfect!! –
This book tells a lovely and important message to children. And I really like the way this book presents it. My child loves every page of this book.

Absolutely beautiful book. Great for little kids PreK through grade 5 or older.
I’m an adult and enjoyed it very much. It’s a visual book the writing is minimalistic, poetic and well done.
It shows how the same cat is seen by all these different animals like a dog or a boy or a snake or a bee or a bat and how although each entity is seeing the same cat, none of them are getting the same picture of what the cat looks like, especially the mouse :O
It’s printed on high-quality paper. It’s beautiful, it has a beautiful dust cover, the hardcover under the desk jacket is minimalistic but still looks nice.
I highly recommend this book for kids who are curious about animals.
Kids who are at a developmental stage where they’re understanding that other people see the world differently than them and this book really drives that point home. Which helps develop empathy. Parents who has autistic children may find Value in this.
Visual art is a great medium for that.
I think it even makes a nice coffee table book.

This book has become the favorite of my 3 and 4 year old kids since I got it a month ago. Not only do they ask for it every night as one of their bedtime books, but they also ask for it throughout the day. The story seems simple, “The cat walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears and paws.”, but it is anything but simple. This book has an ingenious way of teaching perspective, that even my 3 and 4 year old can understand. They see the cat through various animal’s eyes, and they always have questions about it. It is so easy to get completely wrapped up in this book with your kids, I love the story and the illustrations just as much as they do, and I enjoy having a teaching prop that helps me to explain complex topics in a way that they can understand. This book is beautifully illustrated and after I read it, my kids like to go back and look at all of the pictures and “read” it to themselves (they know every word by heart). I have been disappointed with other, highly reviewed childrens books on Amazon, that I believe are entertaining more for the parents, but seem murky and uninteresting for the kids. Not this book. There is a reason it gets almost all 5 star reviews, it is gorgeous and delightful for BOTH kids and parents. My only sadness about this book, is that I couldn’t scoop up an additional copy during Prime Day to give to my niece because it was claimed so quickly. But that’s ok – this book is totally worth paying full price for, and I know she will want it in her library as well.
