They All Saw A Cat

7カ月の息子に購入。目が見えるようになった頃から主人が英語、私が日本語の本を読んであげています。どの本も好きで読むとじーっと聞いて絵を見ます。これまではボードブックで易しい内容のものばかりでしたので、この本はまだ早いかなと思いながら購入しましたが気に入ったようです。字は少なめで絵はダイナミックなので月齢が低い赤ちゃんでも興味を持ちやすいと思います。何度か読んであげているうちにこの本を持って来ただけでウォー！と声を上げて興奮するようになりました！他の本には無かった反応です！大人も楽しめる本です。

This book has become the favorite of my 3 and 4 year old kids since I got it a month ago. Not only do they ask for it every night as one of their bedtime books, but they also ask for it throughout the day. The story seems simple, "The cat walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears and paws.", but it is anything but simple. This book has an ingenious way of teaching perspective, that even my 3 and 4 year old can understand. They see the cat through various animal's eyes, and they always have questions about it. It is so easy to get completely wrapped up in this book with your kids, I love the story and the illustrations just as much as they do, and I enjoy having a teaching prop that helps me to explain complex topics in a way that they can understand. This book is beautifully illustrated and after I read it, my kids like to go back and look at all of the pictures and "read" it to themselves (they know every word by heart). I have been disappointed with other, highly reviewed childrens books on Amazon, that I believe are entertaining more for the parents, but seem murky and uninteresting for the kids. Not this book. There is a reason it gets almost all 5 star reviews, it is gorgeous and delightful for BOTH kids and parents. My only sadness about this book, is that I couldn't scoop up an additional copy during Prime Day to give to my niece because it was claimed so quickly. But that's ok - this book is totally worth paying full price for, and I know she will want it in her library as well.

I bought this lovely book for a 4-year-old girl. She, her mother and me absolutely love this book! The illustrations are charming, yet different from page to page. The essence that the same thing might look completely different depending on the perspective of the viewer is clear, even for a 4-year-old. She is 7 now and still loves to flip through the pages and enjoy the wonderful pictures. Watching the book together has become a nice habit each time I come to visit her.

Great for learning about different perspectives. As the cat walks through the world the book shows how others view the cat. Very well done.

Este libro, ademas de tener unas preciosas ilustraciones, enseña a los niños a aprender que las cosas se pueden ver desde diferentes puntos de vista.
