Description

Filled with whimsical knitted cats, Anna Hrachovec's debut picture book Catside Up, Catside Down blends the silliness of cats with an early introduction to prepositions.

Catside up, catside down.
Cat on a turntable, spinning around!
Under a piano, over the moon,
swept high and away by a cat-shaped balloon.

A collection of cozy, knitted cats find themselves in all sorts of funny positions in this rhyming picture book that introduces prepositions like over, under, between, beside, and many more!

About the Author

Anna Hrachovec is a designer and artist who loves to knit little creatures. Just about everything is more fun in tiny knitted form, so she's inspired by everything! Under her designer brand, Mochimochi Land, Anna has created hundreds of knitting patterns for a global following of creature-crafting fans. When she's not making cute stuff out of yarn, Anna is busy making stop-motion animations with her woolly friends. Her heart-knitting gnome is one of the most widely shared animated GIFs in the world. Anna lives in Chicago with her husband, two kids, and two cats.

Critical Reviews

Evanston Public Library's 101 Great Books for Kids List
Texas 2x2 Reading List

"The humorous text includes sophisticated vocabulary, with words such as configure and astraddle. The image of a feline pair with limbs linked (for "cats akimbo") is particularly funny, as is the cat matryoshka doll. The visuals are witty and whimsical but also spot-on in their portrayals of typical cat behavior--right through to the final, purrfect catnap."--Kirkus, starred review
