They All Saw A Cat (Cat Books for Kids, Beginning Reading Books, Preschool Prep Books) Cover Image

They All Saw A Cat (Cat Books for Kids, Beginning Reading Books, Preschool Prep Books) (Hardcover)

By Brendan Wenzel (Illustrator)
$16.99

This book captures the cat look. I would know, I have lots of experience with so many people coming to look at me at the store. "The cat walked through with its whiskers, ears, and paws," all very important for cat life.  - Reviewed by Pippi, bookstore cat
