B. Kliban (1935-1990) was an American artist best known for his absurd sense of humor and his love of cats. His colorful cartoon cats are truly hilarious. Ten cats, identical except for their positioning and the number on their racecard, vie for position as they race along the top of a spread. If you have never seen a cat wearing tennis shoes—red tennis shoes—now is your chance. Even the cat understands its wearing of these shoes is absurd by the rolling of its eyes.
Inspired by his own cats and their crazy antics, Kliban created his beloved Cat series of cartoons. Young children and their parents will love these colorful cats and their cat-antics, all of which are activities one or the other could perform. It is easy to see why Kliban’s cats were a hit. The cats are fun loving, active, and humorous; traits we all want for our kids and ourselves.
Burke sets her rhymes to the artwork of many well-known artists, bringing these artists to a new generation and back to those who once loved seeing these pieces.Burke’s rhyming text bring artists and their work to life for young children. Her text also make reading these books to children fun and easy, as the words roll off your tongue, making young children laugh . . .
