About this book

Slide-out pages reveal hidden felines in this novelty board book edition of Eric Carle’s charming modern classic Have You Seen My Cat? featuring his simple, repetitive text and distinctive cut-paper illustrations.

A little boy worries about his missing cat and travels to different places in search of his pet. The sturdy pages of this board book slide out to reveal the numerous feline counterparts—including lions, leopards, and tigers—the boy encounters along the way. Again and again, the boy says, “This is not my cat,” until the last page when he finds his missing pet—and receives a wonderful surprise!
