Overview

New York Times bestselling children's book author/illustrator Brendan Wenzel offers a funny and wise celebration of observation, curiosity, and indoor life.



From the endlessly inventive Caldecott Honor author/illustrator of They All Saw a Cat comes a picture book that is playful, perceptive, and full of delights. Inside Cat is just that: an inside cat. But while the cat's life is bound by the walls of an unusual house, it's far from dull.



As the cat wanders, wonders, stares, and snacks, roaming from room to room and place to place, both cat and reader discover worlds and sensations beyond what's right in front of them. And just when Inside Cat is sure it knows everything, another surprise awaits! Fresh, funny, and wise, Inside Cat is a feast for the eyes and the imagination.



ENCOURAGES IMAGINATIVE THINKING: All of Brendan Wenzel's books play with observation, perception, and the imagination. Readers will see how the cat's imagination grows as it explores its building and will be inspired to make their own imaginative journeys.



ENCOURAGES OBSERVATION: There are many details in this picture book, from the decorations in the different rooms to the animals that appear. Young readers will enjoy seeing how these details affect the cat and will flip pages back and forth to see how the cat has incorporated these details into its thinking.



CELEBRATES BEING CREATIVE INDOORS: The cat's world is inside a building, and it enjoys every aspect of being inside. The book sends a positive message about playing inside that parents will appreciate.



GREAT TO READ ALOUD: The rhythmic narrative and refrains are catchy and fun to read out loud and invite audience participation.



BELOVED AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Brendan Wenzel is a bestselling Caldecott Honor-winning artist and a sought-after speaker at schools and libraries. His illustrated books They All Saw a Cat, Hello Hello, and A Stone Sat Still have received multiple starred reviews, state awards, and are family and classroom favorites.
