That mischievous cat! As soon as Cleo is finished winking, blinking, and yawning after a catnap, she's off slipping and sliding, skipping and hopping, chasing and pouncing. The open window invites her outside, where butterflies beckon and trees wave tantalizingly. Still, the call of a loved one is always louder than the call of the wild for ex-stray Cleo, and she is perfectly content to be scooped up for some kisses.
This second title in the series by illustrator Caroline Mockford and author Stella Blackstone (
Cleo the Cat) continues to chronicle the simple pleasures of a charming triangular-headed kitty. Very small children will adore the quiet, rhyming adventures and Mockford's vibrant acrylic illustrations of orange-striped Cleo in her crayon-bright natural playground. The small board-book edition is just right for tiny hands. (Baby to preschool)
--Emilie Coulter Customer Review: GREAT 1ST BOOK TO READ TO BABY!!
This was the first book that I read to my 6 week old baby. We read it (or one of the other Cleo books) every day during play time! She is now 13 weeks old and she looks at the pages and smiles as I read to her. The pictures are bright, colorful, and simple enough for little eyes and the story is short enough for even the youngest audience! I highly recommend (and I think my daughter would agree!)
