For this spunky, imaginative cat, the curtains become high branches, the shower becomes a waterfall, the dog's tail becomes a worm. Elisha Cooper's pencil and watercolor illustrations capture that particular quality of a child fully lost in imaginative play, where the ordinary world and the invented one blend together. At the end of the day, curled on a lap for another story, the cat is already planning tomorrow's transformation: the Extraordinary Elephant. Quiet, warm, and gently funny — a beautiful book about what reading does to the imagination.
