They All Saw A Cat by Brendan Wenzel7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() It is the world we know but not as we know it. ![]() The experience is something like the seeing an image of a garden imagined from the perspective of an insect. Wenzel’s wonderful illustrations invite the reader into the eye of other animals. BRENDAN WENZEL is a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator. Bats recognise the cat through echolocation. A worm underground senses the cat through vibrations in the soil. Does a cat look the way we see it? As this book demonstrates, animals all perceive the world in different ways.Ī dog sees the cat as a nuisance, the mouse sees the cat as danger, and a fox sees the cat as prey (or certainly an easy target). They All Saw A Cat works along similar lines, with the text and the illustrations working together to challenge the reader to think more deeply about things that they take for granted.

It is as simple – and as complex – as that.īrendan Wenzel’s work is always mind-blowing. ![]() Along the way it greets a child and a mouse and fox and all kinds of other creatures. ![]()
