A poetic read-aloud for young cat lovers with exquisite art and text.

Just why are cats so special? This joyous celebration of our feline friends has some answers, "It is the curl-up-in-your-lap. At any time, it is the nap." Clever verse and minutely observed paintings invite us to explore the many moods and passions of kitties. From a tiny gray kitten eyeing a goldfish to a fat marmalade lolling on the sofa, here is a panorama of pleasures for the youngest cat lover.
