Description
That mischievous cat! As soon as Cleo is finished winking, blinking, and yawning after a catnap, she's off slipping and sliding, skipping and hopping, chasing and pouncing. The open window invites her outside, where butterflies beckon and trees wave tantalizingly. Still, the call of a loved one is always louder than the call of the wild for ex-stray Cleo, and she is perfectly content to be scooped up for some kisses. This second title in the series by illustrator Caroline Mockford and author Stella Blackstone (
Cleo the Cat) continues to chronicle the simple pleasures of a charming triangular-headed kitty. Very small children will adore the quiet, rhyming adventures and Mockford's vibrant acrylic illustrations of orange-striped Cleo in her crayon-bright natural playground. The small board-book edition is just right for tiny hands. (Baby to preschool)
