Unless you’re a teacher or librarian, a grown adult that does not work or live with children will come into very little contact with picture books. Both kids also gave this a 5 star rating. We had to discuss each animal and why they might perceive the cat this way. I was delighted and the kids loved this too. It is a simple book with repeating chorus. I love the snake perspective and the bat perspective. Each animal we encounter gives us perspective on the cat, we even get the cat's perspective. You provide the food, I'll provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947." Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this BLOODY TOWN, I'll make you a deal. Fresh out, I take it?Īnton Ego: Very well. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?Īnton Ego: Perspective. I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. "Anton Ego: You know what I'm craving? A little perspective. Whatever age we are.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube | Storeĭelightful! I was not expecting this. Because everyone in this book saw a cat, but they did not all see the same thing.Īnd I think the idea that there isn't just one way of looking at the world, that other people have different and valid perspectives, is something we would all do well to learn. It teaches about different perspectives and opinions, as well as teaching empathy - the idea that the world (a cat, a book, etc.) looks very different to someone who isn't you.
Rather like how I looked at this book and saw an important message and you looked at this book and saw a lame story about a cat *smug smile*īut seriously, I loved the subtle way this book shows how perception changes from one individual to the next. It's about how the same thing can look very different from other people's perspectives. It was actually my boy's Daddy who first read this to him and, I must say, perfectly demonstrated the point of the book in a rather amusing way.ĭad: That book was lame.
About cats about books about the whole world. This is such a simple, beautifully-illustrated idea and yet it contains a lesson that EVERYONE should learn. Okay, I don't intend to review all the picture books I'm currently reading to my baby boy but I just had to say something about this one.
