The Little Crooked Bookshelf



Cat Says Meow: And Other Animalopoeia
by Michael Arndt

What it's all about . . .
Do you like animals? And eye-catching typography? Then Cat Says Meow is your book. The shapes of the letters (that make the animal sounds) curve and twist to become the animals. It’s original and well crafted and the more you read it the more layers you’ll uncover. For instance, many of the animals are arranged to be in conversation.

Why it’s on the Crooked Bookshelf . . .
It’s a clever concept that has winning results. Plus, the typography makes it different from other animal books out there.

Our favorite lines . . .
Sparrow says chirp.

Our favorite illustration . . .


Why kids will love it . . .
It’s playful, colorful, and perfect for kids learning to read and learning animal sounds.

Why grown-ups will love it . . .
It’s pretty stunning, and if you have any interest in onomatopoeia, then you will love this book.
