Reviews

A visually captivating read for anyone who has always wanted cats to literally be everywhere.
From Midwest Book Review, August 2018:
Engagingly illustrated and charmingly written by Laura lee, "Cat Eyes" is a very special picture book story for children ages 5 to 7 and will prove to be an immediately and enduringly popular addition to family, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections for young readers.
From Publishers Weekly, August 2018
The minimal, descriptive text is quickly read, the better for readers to scour the pages for cats blithely doing improbable things: running a hot dog stand at the neighborhood pool, busking in the subway, appearing in a mashed potato masterpiece.
