Simple yet brilliant
Published by Miles's Mom , 5 years ago
It's a beautiful and brilliant book. I've read it only twice to my two-year-old before he read (or memorized) the entire book himself. It's one of his favorites. The illustrations are genius. Highly recommended!
Simple, yet genius.

Absolutely love this book. My kids and I have checked it out of the library many times. The cat is seen through the eyes of many animals. The author brilliantly shows how each animal sees a cat. In one picture the cats bell is large, suggesting that it is heard. In another picture the cat is "hot" and "cold" colors suggesting the animal feels. Very in tune with the senses, highly recommend this book.
