Meeow and the Blue Table
PreS–The endearing black cat is back for more creative play. Rainy weather forces Meeow and his animal pals inside, but does not dampen their spirits. A toy chest full of "cardboard, colored paper, foil, tape…"offers many crafting possibilities. The simple, large-print text invites readers' response: "What are they making?" Cheery, uncluttered illustrations on white backgrounds show the wide-eyed animals with their creations: Quack carries an archery bow, Baa rides a red dragon, Woof waves a shiny sword, Moo wears a pink cape, and Meeow dons a gold crown. By draping a red blanket over a table, Meeow creates an impromptu theater. The stage is set for toddlers to continue with some make-believe fun of their own.Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada© Copyright 2010.
