Klimt and His Cat Reviews
-
A bit of a longer read for a read aloud, but it kept my grade 2s attention and helped inspire our art project.
-
Beautiful illustrations and a lovely story told. Its a keeper. Ill share it with who ever I can.

Me encanta el libro. Está en inglés pero no es complicado, se entiende muy bien. Es un breve recorrido por alguno de los cuadros más famosos del pintor, pero en forma de cuento y con unas ilustraciones realmente bonitas. Muy recomendable.

What a beautiful book ! In it, Gustav Klimts loyal and sharp eyed cat observes the great Viennese painter at work and play. The observations are tender, sometimes dry, and rather deep, getting the reader to reflect on how being an artist can be hard work and rejection as well as joy. The illustrations by Octavia Monaco are gorgeous, and suggestive of Klimts own work.The vibrant colours, the swirls and flowers and fabrics, even the gold paint they are all here.This is offically a childrens book, and Im sure most children will love it, but it could also make a wonderful gift for an adult. If you love Klimt, do add it to your collection.. If you dont know much about this artist and his work, this book will serve as a perfect appetizer as well as being very lovely and great fun in its own right.

I read this book to my students, (I drew some little tops on some of the ladies haha), and this is just the most lovely, whimsical summary of mr.Klimpts life. I love that it’s from his beloved cat’s perspective.
