Max is back with his review of They All Saw a Cat. Max would love to hear your suggestions on picture books he should review. Here are some activities and coloring pages from the publisher. Watch this video on How Animals See the World. Hang up your pictures gallery style, and compare and contrast what you each saw. Grab a group of friends or family and make your own paintings or drawings of what you see around you (preferably outdoors after a walk/hike!). It caused some interesting discussion between them after reading. What the Kids Liked About This Book: Both of my kids enjoyed the contrasts in images, words, and ideas. While it’s very enjoyable for a child visually and audibly (spare, lovely prose), adults will be interested in the underlying thoughts, perspectives, and assumptions that go into each view. He uses mixed medium to show a different view of the cat each time. The author/illustrator then shows us what each of them see when they see the cat. Summary: A cat explores the world and encounters a child, other animals, and bugs. There is a high probability that I will like the books they select. Congratulations! Whenever I need some new quality books to read, I check out the ALA Award winners. How We Discovered This Book: This is an ALA Award winner of the Caldecott Award in 2017. Theme: Perspective, curiosity, looking at the world differently Written and Illustrated by: Brendan Wenzel
