A small atlas of cats (and kittens) by Ewa and Paweł Pawlak

In their fourth mini atlas, this pair of outstanding artists pays tribute to their great love: cats. Here, we encounter fluffy Norwegian Forest cats, blue-eyed Siamese cats, Japanese cats with a pompom tail, and the cat of all cats: the multi-breed alley cat. Personal stories are interwoven with age-appropriate information about feline nature, cat language, and the domestic cat's wild cousins. The texts are accompanied by delightful illustrations: tender cat portraits conjured from fabric, elegant watercolors, and spacious papier-mâché cats. There are also photographs and, of course, children's drawings by Ola, a friend of the authors.

Even though cats have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, they retain their independence, self-respect, and… a whole host of secrets! So let's take a stroll—if they'll let us—down the mysterious cat path.
