Flat Cat | Tara Lazar

*" This amusing picture book is fun for reading aloud." --Booklist (starred review) From Pete Oswald, New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Bad Seed series, and Tara Lazar, critically acclaimed author of 7 Ate 9, comes Flat Cat, the story of a cool cat who learns that sometimes life is about finding the best of both worlds. Flat Cat was born flat. He wasn't squashed by an out-of-control ice cream truck, or smushed in a waffle iron. He was just flat. This slick, sly cat could stray and roam anywhere he pleased, keen and unseen. And wouldn't you know it, Flat Cat liked it just like that. That is until one day, when Flat Cat accidentally fell splish splosh right in the wash. And when he emerged from the dryer, Flat Cat wasn't flat at all. He was adorably puffy and downright fluffy! And Flat Cat wasnt sure how he felt about that. From acclaimed author Tara Lazar and brought to life by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald, this is a hilariously quirky and irreverent story that is sure to appeal to fans of Pete the Cat! Praise for Flat Cat: "Lazars wryly humorous tale wont leave young audiences flat, while Oswalds purple-tinged cartoon depictions of this Flat Stanleystyle feline add their share of giggles (as usual). A hilarious reminder that versatility will have you feline fine." --Kirkus reviews "Featuring groovy text, its a Flat Stanley-flavored take on rolling with the punches and fluidly embracing newfound facets and friends." --Publishers Weekly

Word of the month: #reflect
A moment of reflection in Flat Cat by Tara Lazar. When the illustration conveys meaning without words so succinctly, what is that called?

Ruthiella A “pictograph” maybe? (edited) 1d
mandarchy @Ruthiella I'm not sure that describes how the images convey the same meaning, I think it needs to be more specific, but not too simple. 1d
mandarchy I think I found something close: image conventions. Illustrators are using standard expressions to convey meaning from which we infer more information. 🤯 1d
