I found the message of this story to be very beautiful and inspiring. I also read it to my class for inspiration. The colours are all muted and look old, like they could have been from ancient Japan, so that the story has an ancient feel and is fun to read. It sends a good messages to children who are interested in art, maybe they are always drawing. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The story contained in The Boy Who Drew Cats is a well-known one, and I have seen it retold many times. Here in the west, the most famous retelling is probably that done by Lafcadio Hearn, although I have also encountered it in Natalia Belting's collection, Cat Tales, as well as in picture-book versions by Margaret Hodges and Aki Sogabe, Arthur Levine and Frédéric Clément, and David Johnson. I enjoyed Anushka Ravishankar's telling here, and appreciated German illustrator Christine Kastl's accompanying artwork. Having read a number of American versions of this Japanese tale, it was interesting to encounter an Indian one, demonstrating how folklore travels, and how appealing it can be, across cultural and geographic boundaries. Recommended to young folklore enthusiasts, as well as cat-lovers. ( )
