Description

"The single best children's book of the past 20 years. Hands down." —The Wall Street Journal

New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medal winner They All Saw a Cat is a visual delight and a charming read-aloud that invites kids and parents to explore the concept of perception.
The cat walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears, and paws . . . In this glorious celebration of observation, curiosity, and imagination, author and illustrator Brendan Wenzel shows us the many lives of one cat, and how perspective shapes what we see. When you see a cat, what do you see?
ENGAGING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING: Children will love following along with the simple, fun story, while parents will appreciate the book's clever and thoughtful lessons about how everyone has a unique perspective.

INCREDIBLE TALENT: Brendan Wenzel is a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator. In addition to the Caldecott Honor-winning They All Saw a Cat, he's also the creator of Hello, Hello! and A Stone Sat Still, and he has illustrated a number of other picture books focused on animals and nature.
