Cute Cat Coloring Book

About this book

A striped kitten sits on a window sill beside a flowerpot, another stands in a flower bed batting at a butterfly, and a third sleeps under a polka-dot play tent. Then a cat watches rain through a window, a kitten pushes a toy train along its track and a cat sits at a checkered picnic blanket next to an open basket and a sandwich. Later scenes show a kitten peeking around a tree stump with flowers and mushrooms, a tabby hiding in a paper bag next to a spool of ribbon, a kitten tapping a toy boat in a water basin, a cat between two potted plants, a tabby curled on a pom-pom rug with a book and cushion, and a cat asleep under a starry window. Backgrounds such as window panes, the train track and the checkered blanket add more small areas than the easy cat book.
