    Mini Review: Brendan Wenzel’s Inside Cat is a delight

    0
    By Jessica on October 26, 2021 ages 3 & up, picture books
    Inside CatINSIDE CAT, by Brendan Wenzel, Chronicle Books, Oct. 12, 2021, Hardcover, $17.99 (ages 3-5)

    Explore the world from a cat’s point of view in Caldecott Honor author/illustrator Brendan Wenzel’s Inside Cat.

    Inside Cat is just that: an inside cat. But while the cat’s life is bound by the walls of an unusual house, it’s far from dull. As the cat wanders, wonders, stares, and snacks, roaming from room to room and place to place, both cat and reader discover worlds and sensations beyond what’s right in front of them. And just when Inside Cat is sure it knows everything, another surprise awaits! —Synopsis provided by Chronicle Books

    Inside Cat is one of those books that you never knew you needed, but you do. I’m not even a cat person, but I would have loved it as a child. Heck, I love it as an adult. I love all the different perspectives presented through mixed media. There’s so much to see in this imaginative book.
