Description

From the creator of Can Cat and Bird Be Friendscomes a delightful story featuring an adorable cat and an inquisitive dog.

Dogs chase cats. Everyone knows this, especially cats.

When Dog wants to chase Cat, he politely asks, are you a cat

To outrun and outsmart Dog, Cat pretends to be other animals that dogs wouldnt ordinarily want to chase. Its a masterful plan indeed. But when an unexpected creature walks by, its impossible for Cat to play pretend for much longer.

In a charming picture book filled with pleasing banter and hilarious quips, rising talent Coll Muir creates the perfect story about staying true to yourself.

Perfect for fans of Jon Klassens I Want My Hat Back, ThisIs Not My Hat, and We Found a Hat.

Reviews

Muir's simple, slightly abstract cartoon art gives both [the dog and not-a-cat] each broad personality along with an identifiable and amusing cast. Kirkus Reviews [T]his quick and clever conversationally styled romp is a perfect choice for young listeners....This is an enjoyable outing, perfect for storytime or bedtime and sure to generate plenty of repeat requests from listeners. Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books The simple, formulaic text makes this an accessible read for many young readers, while the high-contrast, cartoon-style illustrations pop with visual appeal. School Library Journal This delightful, tongue-in-cheek story offers young readers an opportunity to question expectations. School Library Journal
