CRITICAL ANALYSIS


Mo Willems writes a simple, direct story about a cat that wants to make friends with other animals that can fly. Along the way of meeting all these animals, the cat realizes that she made many friends and they all share the same hobby, flying.


Willems illustrations are unique with the big bright eyed characters and the simplicity of his animations. As you read this book and any books from this series, you can feel the happiness in the story.


I would recommend this book for kindergarten aged children. This is a good story to remind children of how fun it is to meet new people, make friends, and you just might be surprised at how much you have in common.
