A Cat Like That [Hardcover]

An entertaining tale about a day in the life of an island cat

“A cat, a cat, a big, round cat. Have you ever seen a cat like that?
What do you think she is looking for?”

Follow this big, round cat as she saunters through her island village, stopping to interact with folks at the bakery, the bookstore, the pier. Where is she headed next? What will she find at her last stop of the day?

This sociable cat knows everyone in town and the townspeople know to expect her as she follows her customary route. Young readers can fire up their imaginations with the turn of each page.

When cat-loving illustrator Nicole Wong read this story, she instantly knew just how to depict a day in the life of such a charming feline. The simple text leaves room for children to create their own stories as they engage with the art, and the predictable rhythm of repeated lines will encourage them to read along.This simple yet skillful rhyming book is the cat’s meow.
