Summary:

Monet’s Cat tells the story of a magical pottery cat, Chika, who comes alive to explore Monet’s paintings from within. Join her as she visits four famous works of art – causing chaos at a picturesque picnic lunch, getting lost in the smog at a train station, running riot at the beach and making a splash at the water lily pond. But can her famous owner keep up with her exploits?

Featuring beautiful illustrations inspired by Monet’s paintings, as well as gallery pages showcasing reproductions of his work, this charming story encourages even the youngest children to engage with, explore and enjoy Monet’s art.

Reviews:

Such a winning blend of mischief, humour and cuteness with a cleverly woven non-fiction thread throughout.
