Mo Willems, the adored author of notable children’s books such as Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale and Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, has written and illustrated a fun new book that’s perfect for the littlest ears in your household. Cat the Cat, Who Is That? is a simple, fun little book about a cat who walks along and spots her friends (and labels them by name). It’s part of a new series Willems is writing all about Cat the Cat, a series just for the younger set.
Cat the Cat comes across Mouse (the Mouse), Duck (the Duck), and Fish (the Fish). What wonderful friends she has! She skips along, jubilant and joyful, celebrating the diversity of her pals.
But what’s this? What kind of creature is this? Cat the Cat walks up on someone who doesn’t look quite the same, act quite the same, or talk quite the same. What will she do?
Children will delight in the simplistic words and illustrations while at the same time be learning about appreciation of others who are different. They’ll love the surprise ending, and you’ll love the straightforward yet simple message it carries!
(Watch a fun, kid-led interview with Mo Willems here.)
