    This would be good for a read-aloud, particularly for the topics of sight or perception. ( )

    This book is amazing. I love the illustrations and everything that catches a child's attention. I found this book interesting. I also found this book eye catching. I think this is a great book for little ones and that children will really enjoy getting to read this book and explore what this book has to offer. I would use this book in my future classroom. It was a really fun and great read. The message here is that a single being appears different depending on the perspective of the viewer. It's a really lovely message for young children done in a brilliant, simple, engaging way. This is one of my new favorites. This is a great book to introduce to children. I think that this is a great book to have in the classroom and allows the children to view the point of view from a cat's perspective. ( )

    This was an interesting book. Throughout the book the cat goes around being seen by a lot of different characters which include: a person, a dog, a fish, etc. in the end the cat finds itself staring into a pond looking at its own reflection.
