When I’m feeling this and that, I pretend to be a cat.
Drink water from a bowl, lick your paws and start to purr… Pounce, jump and bounce, then stretch out on the floor in a patch of sun. Curl up with this joyful board book and join two children and their fantastic pet cat in imaginative play.
With Sam Voulters’ simple rhyming text and playful and expressive hand-painted illustrations from award-winning Japanese artist Yoshiko Hada, this book will appeal to cat-lovers big and small. It’s a delight to read aloud and share together.
Perfect for fans of Lucy Cousins, Lorna Scobie, cats, and being a bit silly sometimes!
