THE CAT WHO LIKED TO PRETEND

by Mary Chalmers ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 5, 1959

The irresistibility of a kitten meets with the fascination that pretending holds for the pre-reader in this winningly simple book by Mary Chalmers. When little Sam wanders off in search of a handkerchief attached to a balloon, he pauses in a wooded glen to pretend. Here in the pastel forest he presents a small dramatic performance for the benefit of his make-believe friends, and then happily meanders home. For those who have experienced the charms of Mary Chalmers' Boats Finds A House, Come For A Walk With Me, and a half dozen other books, Sam's arrival will be eagerly anticipated; to the uninitiate, he promises a delightful excursion into a luminous realm of imagination, lucid prose, and tender drawings.
