A beautiful, large-format gift edition of Jackie Morris’s classic cat picture book

“I am Cat. At night I prowl, but in the day I sleep, curled in warm places. And when I sleep, I dream …”

Cat’s dreams lead into the lives of other cats in far-off and wild places, a tiger in the jungle, a cheetah on the African plains, a jaguar swimming in the forest river, a wild cat in the Scottish Highlands, a snow leopard in the Himalayas … Ten species are depicted, each in its own environment, in breathtaking full-spread illustrations.

Reviews for I am Cat

""This vibrant picture book takes children into the dream world of a domestic cat and, by extension, across the world into a variety of habitats. . . . Dignified in tone, the text is succinct and evocative. While the nicely composed watercolor paintings focus on the animals, they give a strong sense of place as well, from an African savanna to a snowy Asian mountain to a forest in the Scottish Highlands. An imaginative introduction to cats in the wild."" --Booklist ""The tabby's poetic musings accompany beautiful watercolor paintings of 10 great cats. . . . These dramatic portraits, rich in language and eye appeal, bring both the felines and their environments to life and make the information in the back matter about these previously unnamed big cats especially memorable. A solid choice for all libraries."" --School Library Journal
