Caramba

this was the first book (with a plot and real live edible pages) my daughter sat through at 15 months. She loved the pictures. She still chooses it as a bedtime story today. Lovely story about friendship and the challenges of being different.

This story is about diversity and meeting a challenge in a different way. And it's cleverly done with a cat who is supposed to swim. He can't, but he does try anyway. His best friend is a pig who can't fly either. But she encourages him to find his niche. The cat does discover that he can swim and other cats cannot. It teaches a valuable lesson about believing in yourself and searching for what really makes you happy. The book is beautifully illustrated. Makes a great gift for a child.
