Picture Book

Simon and Schuster, 2008, 1-4169-7112-2

  It is said that cats have nine lives, but what many people don’t realize is that cats also have multiple personalities. They can be warm and affectionate, purry and cuddly; and then they can turn into spitting, hissing fur balls. They can be cute and funny as they investigate their reflection in a mirror; and they can be downright naughty as they turn a knitting project into one huge snarl.

  In this delightful and beautifully presented picture book Linda Newbery perfectly captures the nature of all cats by introducing us to Posy, a striped kitten who has grand times exploring the garden, playing (and fighting) with her sibling, and cuddling with her mother. Spare but wonderfully expressive multimedia illustrations show Posy going about her kittenish business to great effect. This picture book is a must for cat lovers of all ages.
