Book review: 'Big Cat' with its 1970s style art is a winner!

"Big Cat" is a fun picture book geared toward toddlers and young children. However, I caught my teenager listening in and looking over my shoulder while I read it to my four-year-old a few days ago. It just shows you that children's books are for EVERYONE!

Isobel is helping Grandma look for her glasses when a large cat (errr, Tiger) wanders into the backyard. A cat-lover, Grandma is enchanted with her new pet and starts to wonder why they're going to cat food so quickly. Meanwhile, Tiger's parents have been looking for him when they eventually wind up at Grandma's house.

I've read this book several times to my littles and they haven't gotten tired of it yet. They think it's hilarious that Grandma mistakes a tiger for a cat. I've enjoyed the little snippets of humor found in the illustrations.

Drawn with a 1970s-style, this full-color book is a delight to read and look at. Although "Big Cat" has already been released in author and illustrator Emma Lazell's UK already, it is slated to be released to the rest of the world today.
