“The cat knew them all, and they all knew the cat”

This has such great illustrations!

This book was a cute book for children. I love that the book explores how a cat might look from different animals points of view. This would be a great book for teaching children about point of view. I love how the underlying message is that it doesn‘t matter what he looks like to other animals, they all saw a cat!

This is just fantastic.

And I‘m not just saying that because I‘m a cat lover!!

This book has beautiful illustrations and simple writing that will not bore young children and easy enough for beginner readers to read in their own! This is a must for a children‘s library! The cat is displayed how a child, a dog, a fish and so on would view him and how it is different for everyone.

This book won a Caldecott Honor award for its interesting artwork that accompanies a cute theme and simple text. It is a great read for a younger audience.

I would use this in a future classroom if the children were interested in pets. It is a very simple book with cute illustrations.

They all saw a cat is a caldecott winner. The illistrations in this book are something else. While looking through this book they gave a sense of texture that you do not get from many other books.

Where‘s this book on #Litsy?

Another brilliant book about perspective for little bookworms.

“Then it came to the water... and imagine what it saw?”

The illustrations of the cat were very cool looking.

This is a short cute story about a cat. I think children love books about animals, at least I know I do. It also talks about a bunch of different animals that all saw the cat which is educational for young children. Very cute read.

I like how the story begins and ends with a version of the same sentence/idea

This is a good read for younger students. There‘s lots of repeating phrases and words, bright fun pictures, and big easy to read words on each page. It uses a lot of animal vocabulary along with artwork of them.

“the cat walked through the world with it‘s whiskers, ears, and paws”

This New York Times Best Seller & Caldecott Honor MF story is about a cat who wanders around and is seen by other animals and a child. They each see him differently. The child sees something sweet and cuddly, the animals see him as food. Then he comes to water and looks at himself, and the story ends before exposing how the cat sees himself.

The illustrations are simple and through the eyes of a different beings.

They all saw a cat by Brendan Wenzel is a Caldecott winning book that was published in 2016. This book is about the different views of one cat. There are different perspective shapes that they see and that we see. The book is through the eyes of the cat and we see what he sees. This is a simple on how a variety of living beings all perceive a cat differently.

“And the cat walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears, and paws, then it came to the water... and imagine what it saw?”

My favorite part of this book was definitely the illustrations. They are very abstract and interesting, which children really enjoy.

Genre: Caldecott
I love how this book gives different perspectives for different animals seeing the cat. Some animals see the cat as scary and big while other animals see the cat as small and enticing.

“Yes, they all saw a cat”

This is a cute story about how everyone sees things differently.

They saw a cat by Brendan Wenzel is a Caldecott winning book published in 2016. This book is the different perspectives of a cat and their many lives they live. All different animals had seen a cat walking through the world. The cat is walking through this world with his paws, whiskers, and ears. All of the different animals that had seen the cat each saw it in different colors and in different sizes and shapes and in different forms.

I loved how the illustrator shows the perspective of each animal on how they would see the cat through their vision.

A book that displays observation, curiosity, and imagination. Everything in the world was able to see that cat but in different perspectives because we all see things differently. In the end, the cat saw the cat in the reflection of the water. We see ourselves through mirrored images that displays aspects to who we are. Award: Caldecott Medal; Published: 2016; Illustrator: Brenden Wenzel

“Yes, they all saw the cat!”

This book would be EXCELLENT to show multiple perspectives. While they probably aren‘t accurate to specific animals, the lesson remains that perspectives are different for each person/animal. This could also bring out the conversation of differing opinions and opposing personality traits. Everyone is different, special, and unique!

This book explores the perspective of different animals and how not everyone sees things in the same way. The cat is seen by all, but in completely different ways. Each animal is influenced by their environments and their surroundings. The color also changes depending on what colors the animals can see.

Genevieve is enjoying reading me her school library pick for this week. She almost always seems to check out whichever book the librarian read to the class. She then reads it to me. Her memory is uncanny—I‘m constantly amazed at how she can repeat a book verbatim after only hearing it once!

They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel, is a F picture book that is great for IR, PR, RA, & S and is a 2017 Caldecott winner! This book tells the story of a cat that walks through the world being viewed by many outsiders who all have a unique perception of what the cat looks like. This book can be used in the classroom to teach students that we can all see the same thing, but perceive it differently.
