They All Saw a Cat Book

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+

In this glorious celebration of observation, curiosity, and imagination, Brendan Wenzel shows us the many lives of one cat, and how perspective shapes what we see. When you see a cat, what do you see?

• THEY ALL SAW A CAT follows a belled house cat as it walks “through the world, with its whiskers, ears, and paws.”
• After a young child pets it, it’s seen by a dog, then a fox, a fish, a mouse, a bee, a bird, a flea, a snake, a skunk, a worm, and a bat, each providing an opportunity for the cat to show the unique perspective of the animal that’s viewing it.
• Finally the cat came to the water, and the reader is invited to “imagine what it saw” when it peered in.
