Everyone knows a Boris. He's the one who marches to his own set of bagpipes. Mama, Fluffy, and Skinny spend a typical cat day doing typical cat things. When Mama walks on a stone wall, Fluffy and Skinny walk on a stone wall. When Mama sharpens her claws, Fluffy and Skinny sharpen their claws, too. When Mama washes her paws, well guess what? Fluffy and Skinny wash their paws! See a pattern here? Wait, I can almost hear you screaming, "But what about Boris?" Boris? Oh you mean that little orange cat over there napping at the foot of a tree, beneath a bush, beside the wall?
Through Denise Fleming's use of brightly colored homemade paper and eye-catching colored cotton pulp, children have the delightful opportunity of catching Boris being Boris. When the rest of the family finally settles in for a nap, guess what Boris does? He sharpens his claws, walks the wall, washes his paws--and then he naps! The simple, oversized-text and striking illustrations of Mama Cat Has Three Kittens are the perfect combination for showcasing the important point that being unique doesn't mean being left out. No matter who he or she is, everyone is loved!
