The text is spare, letting the beautiful and unique illustrations impart whether the observer views the cat as friend or foe.

This encounter was what I thought of when I first read Brendan Wenzel’s remarkable debut entitled They All Saw A Cat, a fabulous book that teaches point of view to children. All he saw were gardenias throughout our quick conversation, while I still watched her breathe fire. He could not believe this lady was the same person I’d always spoken about, as her southern charm and sweet as sugar demeanor won him over. One evening, years after I had quit that job, my husband and I ran into this old boss at a restaurant. Literally- horns, an evil smile and a face like fire. Why? Check it out!Įvery time an old boss of mine walked into my office, I saw a devil. There is so much value in books that teach point of view to kids.
