How to Be a Cat

In Nikki McClures tender board book, a kitten practices the basics of feline behavior over the course of a day. A single word of text per spread teaches readers how to be a cathow to stretch, clean, pounce, feastwhile the striking paper cuts illustrate the kittens attempts to imitate an adult cats 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.
