Description
I am Cat is a beautiful, large-format gift edition of Jackie Morris’s classic cat picture book.
“I am Cat. At night I prowl, but in the day I sleep, curled in warm places. And when I sleep, I dream …”
Cat’s dreams lead into the lives of other cats in far-off and wild places, such as a tiger in the jungle, a cheetah on the African plains, a jaguar swimming in the forest river, a wild cat in the Scottish Highlands, and a snow leopard in the Himalayas.
Ten species are depicted, each in its own environment, in breathtaking full-spread illustrations.
