This lovely book illustrated with cut paper is a good choice for a Toddler story time or reading one on one with your favorite little person. The illustrations lend themselves to quiet talk or raucous imitation. You can stretch, pounce and tumble with the kitties or talk about all the intricate illustrations that delight the eye. Either way you can't lose when you choose to read How to Be a Cat. Bold, whimsical black and white illustrations, accented with light blue, double-page spread illustrations tell the story of a cat's day. From the first morning stretch, to the stalk and chase of a butterfly, to the final dream. Simple, one word, action word accompanies each illustration. Fabulously simple! An excellent read aloud or independent read. Kids will love to dramatize the cat's action. Would be fun to create student stories about an animal of their choice. Recommend to any teacher, parent, or librarian. Interesting to pair with Kevin Henkes' Kitten's First Full Moon.
