Monet's Cat by Lily Murray


What would happen if Claude Monet's pottery cat Chika magically came to life? 

Thoughts: What a fun concept! A pottery cat who comes to life and runs through Monet's paintings. The illustrations are soft colored and inviting. Chika's expressions and personality come through wonderfully in the illustrations. Cameron does a masterful job depicting Monet's paintings. I think anyone who reads this book will want to know more about Monet. Would pair well with Where Is the Frog?: A Children's Book Inspired by Claude Monet by Géraldine Elschner. 

Themes: Art, Cats, Painting 

(Illustrated by Becky Cameron. Random House Studio, 2020.)
