Every cat gets its moment in Jellycat's All Kinds of Cats hardback picture book — the scruffy moggy from next door, the silky pedigree sitting upright like it owns the room, and every personality in between. Built around playful rhymes and sharp wordplay, this is the kind of book that sounds as good read aloud as it looks sitting open on a lap. Jellycat brings the same considered charm here that it does to its plush toys: the illustrations are vivid without being chaotic, and the language has genuine wit rather than the flat sing-song of lesser picture books.
It's made for toddlers and young children, but the rhythm and the humor are calibrated for the adult reading it too — which matters enormously when you're on your fourth read of the evening. As a gift for a cat-loving family, or a new addition to a well-chosen home bookshelf, the Jellycat All Kinds of Cats book holds its own.
Care & Cleaning: As a hardback picture book, the All Kinds of Cats volume requires no special maintenance beyond keeping it dry and away from moisture. Wipe the cover with a dry or very lightly damp cloth if needed — do not use cleaning products or submerge. Store upright on a shelf or flat in a basket to preserve the spine. The durable hardback format is specifically suited to the kind of daily use that children's books see, and it will stay looking considered on a shelf long after the toddler years. A Jellycat children's book is worth keeping in good condition — it reads well the first time and the fifteenth.
