Country, Cat, City, Cat

Poetry for kids

The premise is simple enough...the book chronicles the day-to-day activities of a cat as he moves from the countryside to the big city. Beautiful woodcuts complement the elegantly simple verses of this collection. But there really is more to it than just that...

In a world where everything is hustle and bustle, COUNTRY CAT CITY CAT will remind even the most stressed or anxious among us to focus on the simpler things in life. From ages 9 to 99, there are nuggets of wisdom for all in this book.
