A Brave Cat by Marianna Coppo
. PICTURE BOOK. Chronicle Books, 2022. $18. 9781797204420

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Olivia is a very brave and adventurous cat in the safety of her home - doing funny things that normal cats do. Then one day, she falls out the window. Can Olivia become a brave and adventurous cat in the great outdoors? Will Olivia make it home safe?

So enjoyable from start to finish! Coppo cleverly uses hyperbole to tell the story so that simple cat behavior is made to sound brave and fantastic. She is also the illustrator and is able to make the pictures dance with more information than just the words. The illustrations are graphically and beautifully simple and easy to follow. Small children as well as adults will enjoy this book.
