An alphabet book that features cats and kittens wearing clothes and acting like humans. At the end of the book are short rhymes about various occupations that cats (if we imagined it) might have such as gardener, painter, and cook.
This page illustrates the letter "Q". It depicts a male cat wearing pants, a vest, and a jacket, and dancing a quadrille with a female cat wearing a dress. The text reads: "Q stands for Quadrille, pussies dance with much care". |
