Reach for this book when your child is struggling to reconcile the different sides of a loved one or a pet, such as why a cuddly cat might also be a fierce hunter. It is a beautiful tool for teaching children that personality is complex and that someone can be many things at once: independent and needy, wild and domestic, mischievous and sweet. This rediscovered gem by the legendary Provensens uses hand-lettered text and stunning watercolor art to profile Max, a real-life farm cat with a big personality. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, it fosters a deep appreciation for the natural world and the quirky, authentic bonds we share with animals. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated art and the gentle way it validates a pet's true, sometimes messy nature without needing to 'tame' it.
