Cats Rule this week!

Pete the Cat: Pete's Big Lunch
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: James Dean

Pete puts together a big, strange sandwich only to find it is bigger than his appetite. What is he to do?
The illustrations are typical for Pete the Cat.

Meow Ruff: A Story in Concrete Poetry
3 stars
Author: Joyce Sidman
Illustrator: Michelle Berg

The story is good about a dog that escapes his house and a cat dumped out to fend for herself.
Everything in the illustrations is made up of words shaped into the objects. A small cloud is: "Just a tiny puff, a swirl of frosting cloud."
These do add to the story at times. Other times, this is distracting, almost annoying.
The illustrations for the cat, crows and dog are paper decoupage, simple and nice.

Plume
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Isabelle Simler

This book was originally printed in France. It has very little text, mostly the names of the birds the feathers are from.
The feathers are so delicate. They look real enough to pick up.
Underneath the birds and feathers appear ends of a black tail, a nose, a silhouette of a black cat. It's fun to spot these.
