I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. "Anton Ego: You know what I'm craving? A little perspective. Whatever age we are.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube | Storeĭelightful! I was not expecting this. Because everyone in this book saw a cat, but they did not all see the same thing.Īnd I think the idea that there isn't just one way of looking at the world, that other people have different and valid perspectives, is something we would all do well to learn. It teaches about different perspectives and opinions, as well as teaching empathy - the idea that the world (a cat, a book, etc.) looks very different to someone who isn't you. Rather like how I looked at this book and saw an important message and you looked at this book and saw a lame story about a cat *smug smile*īut seriously, I loved the subtle way this book shows how perception changes from one individual to the next. It's about how the same thing can look very different from other people's perspectives. It was actually my boy's Daddy who first read this to him and, I must say, perfectly demonstrated the point of the book in a rather amusing way.ĭad: That book was lame. About cats about books about the whole world. This is such a simple, beautifully-illustrated idea and yet it contains a lesson that EVERYONE should learn. Okay, I don't intend to review all the picture books I'm currently reading to my baby boy but I just had to say something about this one.
