Cats sleep anywhere
Any table, any chair

Those two lines are the beginning of my all time favourite cat poem
I love poetry
I am not though a cat person
My soon to be 8 year old daughter however
Adores cats

For her birthday next month
She has requested a date with Granny
At a local cat cafe

Bea also loves collecting books about cats
She is a HUGE fan of the Kitty series
And we have a growing array of pawfect picture books
Including these two
All About Cats & 10 Cats

All About Cats is a collection
Of 14 fantastically funny feline themed poems
Through the rhymes written by Frantz Wittkamp and David Henry Wilson
And the brilliant Axel Scheffler instructions
Little readers can find out all the weird and wonderful things
Cars really get up to

We meet mischievous and musical moggies
Playful pussies
Funny felines
Cats who are quiet, clean collectors

This is a joy to read aloud with little readers
And there is so much to spot in every picture

10 Cats by Emily Gravett
Almost has me convinced that cats can be cute
This book would make a gorgeous gift
For a cat loving early years teacher

10 Cats is purrfect for playful learning
As little readers and their grown ups
Join 10 little kittens
Who slide and splash their way
Through numbers to 10
And introduce themselves and their readers
To primary colours and simple colour mixing

The artwork is brillant
Every kitten has its own character
And we have laughed so much
At the antics of the bundle of kittens
Pristine snow white mummy cat
Is napping
I wonder what might possibly happen
While she is asleep?

Blotches, splotches, dots and splats
A fun read aloud for families and classrooms
And a great springboard for some messy art this summer

Do you like cats?
Then you will LOVE these brilliant and beautiful books
