A day in the life of a cat – told from the cat's point of view! A funny rhyming picture book from Peter Bently and Chris Chatterton.
I am Cat. Cat is me. A most superior thing to be. I am Cat. I need nap. Window? Cupboard? Dog Bed? Lap!
Join one sassy little cat for a busy day packed full of essential cat activities. From climbing and prowling, to playing and snoozing. Being head of the house is a full-time job!
"Bently’s kitty’s-eye view of a day is a rhyming romp that young feline aficionados will enjoy."–Kirkus Reviews
"An insightful title for teaching point-of-view or personification, this could also be useful for engaging children with poetry, or for nudging them to write about pets—real or wished for—in their lives. A delightful combination of art and verse that entertains and appropriately honors the magnificence of being in a world where there are cats."–School Library Journal, starred review
