Nikki McClure’s How to Be a Cat only features three
colors – black, white, and blue – but it makes effective use of those colors.
Most of the artwork covers a two-page spread with only one word of text, words
like “stretch,” “explore,” “tumble,” “lick”… You get the picture.
The book allows for a good
bit of audience participation by imitating what the cats are doing. There’s
really no story, just a sequence of words/actions, but who cares? I wouldn’t
use How to Be a Cat for a large
group, but for just a few kids (and those on the younger side), it might be a
good filler book.
