I Am a Cat by Galia Bernstein

agudenburr's review against another edition

I really liked this picture book! A great blend of fiction and information about cats. A house cat is laughed at because the wild cats do not think he is a "real" cat. Would make a great read aloud for elementary children and good introduction to animal categories (what makes a cat a cat, a dog a dog, etc).

We're very much cat people, so my children enjoyed the house puss defending his status as "cat" to all the larger cats.

Şimdiye kadar gördüğüm en süper çizimlere sahip resimli çocuk kitabı olabilir.

Bunun dışında, farklılıkların ortak noktasını birleştirme ve elbette bunu çocuklara aktarma konusunda müthiş başarılı.

I Am a Cat should be mandatory reading for any child (or adult) who bullies. Anyone have a Law degree who can help make this a thing?

Very cute illustrations! Perfect for any young child or cat stan! 😻

I can foresee this becoming a beloved classic. The story is simple, universal, and expressive, with just the right amount of humor and a subtle anti-prejudice undercurrent. I loved the classic quality of the illustrations, reminiscent of 1960's Disney films like 101 Dalmations. And Simon the cat is a supremely sensible, lovable character. A little gem.

I love this book. The illustrations are beautiful - cartoon enough to be fun and engaging, but realistic at the same time. The text is simple and straightforward without dumbing anything down. It's just plain fun, but has the added bonus of an inclusive message while still celebrating diversity. Bravo, Ms. Bernstein. This is the first book of yours that I have read, but I certainly hope it won't be the last! My preschoolers are going to love this for story time.

P.S. I hate cats. I'm allergic to them. :) Still love the book.
