Curious Cat

Curious Cat

by Bayley Nicola (Author)

Synopsis

Drawing on the hugely successful The Necessary Cat, Nicola Bayley's gloriously individual, quirky homage to the feline race, The Curious Cat gathers all the younger aspects of this wonderful book to bring it to a new audience. Full of cat toys and plants; odd cat words and even odder cat facts; and cat lore and literature, including nursery rhymes and poems, this charming selection is geared towards junior readers. Reduced in size and beautifully redesigned, with a new cover, The Curious Cat celebrates the playful inquisitiveness of kittens and young cats, in illustrations displaying that exquisite miniaturist detail and sly sense of humour that distinguish this favourite artist's work.

Author Bio
Nicola Bayley is one of this country's best-loved artists, particularly well-known for her pictures of cats. She has illustrated several books for children, including Katje the Windmill Cat; the Copycats series, Fun with Mrs Thumb and The Mousehole Cat, which was named Illustrated Children's Book of the Year in the British Book Awards, Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for both the Smarties Book Prize and the Children's Book Award. Illustrating is such a solitary life, so I depend upon my cats for company. I have long conversations with them, she says. Nicola Bayley is married with a son called Felix and two calico cats called Pansy and Tikki.
