It is Cats' Visiting Night at the Art Gallery, and from all over the town, cats have come to see the paintings. Most of all, they like looking at paintings with cats in them. But alas, there aren't many. Then the talented artist Felissima Cat steps in. Meredith Hooper's charming story features 6 gloriously funny reworkings of famous paintings, each shown alongside the original masterpiece. It provides an offbeat and entertaining introduction to the art of the world's greatest art museums, which will delight children, art devotees and cat-lovers alike.
An excellent way of getting young children to look closely at some paintings. - English Association Magazine
A tour of important paintings in major collections is this time conducted via a narrative thread spun around the absence of cats in any of the pictures… It's a difficult trick to pull off visually and Bee Willey's distinctive part-digital paintings cleverly bring the whole idea to life. - Books for Keeps
Children will love the beautiful pastel colour illustrations and hopefully be inspired to see the paintings for themselves, as they follow Felissima and her friends into the art world. - Carousel
