Bruno, the Standing Cat

Bruno, the Standing Cat by Robert, Nadine. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780525647140.

Meet a silly and absurd cat whos like no cat youve ever met before, in this inventive and unusual book from the illustrator of the picture-book version of John Lennons song "Imagine." When a box arrives on Peters doorstep, he opens it to find Bruno, a cat who is standing up on two legs. It is very odd. Bruno likes to chew bubble gum, play house, and skateboard--and refuses to engage in any catlike behavior. But Peter likes Bruno, and so they become friends and do everything they can think of together. Jean Jullien (illustrator of the picture-book version of John Lennons song "Imagine") is an emerging picture-book creator who works in a signature thick black line and bold, flat color. His quirky, subversive humor is childlike at its core, and kids will delight in his light and irreverent approach.
