This book follows a cat that explores the world. This book displays beautiful illustrations of what other animals perspectives of the cat. The pictures shows what a child, dog, fox, fish, mouse, bee, bird, flea, snake, skunk, worm, and a bat see of the cat. For example, a dog would see the cat as a skinny, scary cat, the fish see the cat all big and blurry, the bee see the cat in all dots and circles, and the flea see the cat by just his fur. The story ends with the cat walking up to a lake and seeing himself and the book asks the reader what we think the cat saw when he saw himself.
I enjoy this book and would love to have this in my classroom. The illustrations are beautiful and it will most definitely have the students engaged. This book would be perfect for Kindergartners to fifth grade. An activity is for students to draw and explain themselves what these animals would see of them, like how would a snake see a human.
I like the idea of having students draw and explain how the animals would see them.
