They All Saw a Cat

Author: Brendan Wenzel

They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel is a visually stunning and conceptually rich picture book that invites readers to explore the idea of perspective through the eyes of different creatures. As a cat walks through its world, it is seen by various animals—each perceiving the cat in a unique way based on their own experiences and viewpoints. A child sees a familiar pet, a mouse views it as a looming predator, and a bird from above sees it as a small shape moving far below. Wenzel’s inventive illustrations vary in style to match each animal’s perspective, offering a fresh and engaging visual experience on every page. The simple yet profound text encourages readers to consider how perception shapes reality, making it an excellent conversation starter about empathy, understanding, and diversity of thought. By the end of the book, children are left with the thought-provoking realization that everyone—and everything—sees the world differently. They All Saw a Cat is more than just a story; it’s a gentle lesson in perspective and the power of seeing the world through someone else’s eyes, making it a memorable and educational read for young audiences.
