How to Be a Cat HC

Can a tiny kitten do everything a big cat can? Not quite yet—but it's ready to try.

In this simple, beautifully paced picture book, celebrated papercut artist Nikki McClure follows a curious kitten as it spends a day mimicking an older, wiser cat.

With just one clear action verb per page, very young children watch the pair navigate the rhythms of a perfect feline day: from a wide morning stretch and an intense clean to a playful pounce and a cozy sleep.
