description: Here is a boy who is sure of one thing: he does NOT like stories. Not stories about waking up in the morning or people in space or fish in the sea or planes or trains or boring old buildings. We see the boys experiences play out over the course of his day. The one thing this contrarian boy loves is his catwhose day is depicted through graphic panels in a funny parallel side narrative. The cheerful cat searches for the boy all day chasing anything yellow the colour of the boys bright backpack and causing mess and mayhem throughout the city. In the end the boy concedes he might like a storyif its the right one (do you know any stories about a cat?). Art in a muted palette is accented with pops of yellow in this charming book about how the stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape our days. The visual details support literacy skills add humor and are sure to engage young readerseven those who are sure they dont like stories.
