How to Be a Cat

Cut-paper illustrations and single words of text show a kitten's attempts to imitate an adult cat's mastery of such skills as stretching and stalking in this board book edition of McClure's classic picture book.

Description

In this tender board book, a kitten practises the basics of feline behaviour over the course of a day. A single word of text per spread teaches readers how to be a cat—how to stretch, clean, pounce, feast—while the striking paper cuts illustrate the kitten's attempts to imitate an adult cat's mastery of each skill.

At times, the kitten triumphantly succeeds, and at other times the kitten struggles, in vignettes that range from whimsical to profound. A celebration of all things feline, How to Be a Cat also tells a universal story of mastering life skills, and of the loving relationship between parent and child.
