Cool cat brings its suitcase full of paints to a brown, barren area. Cool cat begins to paint a colorful field and blue sky. A mouse joins the cat in painting the colorful scene. Next a bird and rabbit join in on painting the colorful field as well. The animals all paint until there is a lush, green field complete with a pond. The other animals enjoy their new habitat as Cool Cat backs up their suitcase of paintbrushes and says goodbye.

A wordless book that shows a cat and their painting supplies. The cat takes the baron landscape and creates and beautiful prairie from it. I love wordless books because it is a kick starter to story telling for many children. I would start using this as young as preschool all the way to second grade. ( )

The cat seemed to live in a colorless world and didn't like it, so he painted it, and he taught the animals around him to paint as well. The end of the books shows the animals playing in the new colorful field and enjoying it. The last page shows the cat sleeping happily

Cool cat lives in a drab and dreary world, until the day he finds brushes and paint. With the help of other animal friends they transform their world. The create the world that they want together as a team.

Cool Cat was simple and short. The art and story were a little boring, as many of the pictures looked the same. It gets more interesting though as more animals arrive on the scene to help out. It could be used in the classroom with discussions of cleaning up urban spaces, and the potential people have to change our world. Just because something appears some way does not mean it doesn't have potential to be beautiful.
