Clever and mischievous cats take on different shapes in this adorable concept board book. A curious cat climbs into a box to investigate and forms the shape of a SQUARE. A thirsty cat crawls into a bathroom sink to get a drink and spreads into an OVAL. A sneaky cat slips into a drawer to take a nap and stretches into a RECTANGLE. And, at the end of the day, all the cats cuddling together take on the best shape of all: the shape of their owner’s HEART!
