Description
A beautifully illustrated retelling of the beloved fairy tale from Caldecott Medal-winning author Jerry Pinkney For generations, children have been enchanted by the tale of the clever cat in fancy boots who outsmarts a king and a sorcerer to win a castle and a bride for his penniless master. The humor, the magic, and a lush Renaissance setting are all on glorious display, and a well-placed gatefold adds to the drama. This elegant new edition of Charles Perrault's folktale is essential for every child's library. Read it in tandem with other Pinkney classic picture books like The Little Red Hen and The Lion and the Mouse. "This book is larger than life."- Library Media Connection

Good ole Puss
Beautifully illustrated, not difficult for my 7 year old to grasp and stuck to the general and original story book classics storyline.

As I remembered.
Many years ago when I was young my Aunt used to read this book to me. The book cover on this edition is very close to what she used to have. The story has not changed and the illustrations were excellent.

Not to be missed picture book
Gorgeous illustrations and an engaging story, this is my four-year-old's favorite picture book. We have been reading it often for six months. (And this is in a house with lots of children's library books and books he owns.)

This is a lovely book.
Beautiful illustrations. The story is a bit altered from the original but essentially the same.

Classic story overwhelmed by art
The four year old enjoyed the story, but the illustrations were far too complex and confusing for a child. The facial expressions on the characters were even scary.

Beautiful book, original story
The story is well known but what make this book lovely is the quality of the illustrations. We were super impressed and our little boy loved it too. The writing is for children but not babyish, with longer paragraphs which are perfect for a 6 yo. Definitely one of the children books we enjoyed the most.

Lovely illustrations
I bought this book for my grandson. The illustrations are really beautifully done. I remember having a copy of this one when I was a child, and my sister recognised it too. It's really a lively present for a child.
