Children’s books about cats are always popular. Many of us cat lovers enjoy them, and their intended audience (children) certainly love them. At the Chemers Gallery illustrators’ event I attended last weekend there were three examples of lovely, but very diverse, cat books illustrated by two of the featured illustrators.

| Cat Dreams |
One of them was
Cat Dreams, by Ursula K. Le Guin – a charming book about a napping cat. The model for illustrator S.D. Schindler was his cat, Furball (a very attractive calico with green eyes). Schindler is also the illustrator of Le Guin’s marvelous
Catwings books as well as more than 50 other children’s books.

| Fat Cat |

| Where is Catkin? |
Also representing cats in the gallery was another favorite illustrator’s books – Julie Paschkis’
Fat Cat and
Where is Catkin?
I hope to get back to the gallery to study the original illustrations more closely before the exhibit ends.
