Teacher Evaluation: I would use this book in a first-grade classroom for a read aloud. This read-aloud could focus on the illustrations alone or it could focus more on the fact of how the illustrations demonstrated alternate perspectives. The students could also engage in an activity where they chose an animal mentioned in the book and draw how the cat would see that animal and write why they cat would see that animal that way.
Summary: This short picture book is about a cat. A normal cat with whiskers, ears, and paws walking through the world. The cat passes a child, dog, and fox and they all saw a cat. Each page of the book depicts how the following animals see a cat from there perspective; a fish, mouse, bee, bird, flea, skunk, worm, and bat. The book finishes when the cat water up to water and sees its reflection.
