Offering new and completely different perspectives on the very same household cat provides much food for thought along the way and will undoubtedly open the reader’s imagination to how we all see things differently. Just take a look at the vast differences between how the cat is viewed from each of the different onlookers.Ĭonceptually, this is such a creative picture book and one which executes its point to perfection.
Wrong! We can assure you it most definitely is not. Surely a plain old household cat, is just a plain old household cat no matter who you are… right? Luckily, we were sent a review copy from our friends over at Chronicle Books and had chance to pore over it in more detail and we were certainly not disappointed. We spotted early proofs of this book on Twitter via Steven Malk and were utterly intrigued. Teachers might ask students to think critically about what perspectives we do or do not hold.‘ They All Saw A Cat‘ by Brendan Wenzel is all kinds of genius! I think it could also be used to teach about authorship (as in authority and authenticity). Both offer different angles to questions of perspective. Teachers’ Tools for Navigation: This book should be paired with They All Saw a Cat to teach perspective. I don’t want to give a spoiler, but the last page of this book will make you gasp. It travels around the house and sees so much. I was really excited to read Inside Cat because I knew it would be just as compelling-and it was! Inside Cat can see the world in so many ways. I use his They All Saw a Cat to teach about perspective, and it reminds us of the value of picture books at all levels of class instruction.
Review: Brendan Wenzel regularly impresses me.
GoodReads Summary: Told in rhyming text, Inside Cat views the world through many windows, watching the birds, squirrels, and people go by-but when the door opens it discovers a whole new view.
