Big Cat, Little Cat by Elisha Cooper is a Caldecott Honor book, aka it's one of the runner up books. It is one of the very best illustrated books published in America in 2017.
Big Cat, Little Cat is a simple story about two pet cats. One "big cat" aka older cat introduces and teaches the new "little cat" aka the kitten about life.
This picture book has a sweet simple story that even toddlers can understand and enjoy, but it has a more complex message that'll pull at the heart strings of older readers. As an adult, I thought the message was sweet and touching. If you have a special place in your heart for cats, you most definitely should give this book a check out, if not a purchase. To be honest, if you have a cat this would make a great gift for your child.
Have you read Big Cat, Little Cat, yet? What do you think, worthy gift purchase?
Happy cat loving picture book reading!
