Cat, What Is That?

A poetic read-aloud for young cat lovers with exquisite art and text. In clever, teasing verse and minutely observed paintings, Johnston and Minor offer a loving and lovely tribute to our feline friends. These playful meditations invite us to explore the many moods and passions of tabbies and calicos, animals whose familiarity belies their everlasting mystery. From a tiny gray kitten eyeing a goldfish to a fat marmalade lolling on the sofa, here is a panorama of pleasures for any cat lover. Praise for Cat, What is That? Wonderful, memorable, luminous – the kind of book that both children and adults will turn to again and again. –Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
