Thumpy Feet - Hardcover

Thumpy, thumpy, thumpy, thump! Here comes Thumpy Feet! He eats, cleans, plays, hunts, and naps. And he'll win his way into your heart! The onomatopoeic text follows a fun-loving, food-loving, self-satisfied cat as he enjoys the simple pleasures of his daily routine. Reminiscent of East Asian ink wash paintings, the illustrations not only reproduce Thumpy Feet's exquisite movement but also his very essence. Masterful compositions -- balanced, varied, and often surprising -- capture the reader's attention and arouse his or her emotions: joy, anticipation, and love at first sight!
