The Cinder-Eyed Cats

Eric Rohmann

From the creator of the Caldecott Honor winner Time Flies, here's a little boy's journey to a tropical dream world. Magnificent oil paintings and rhyming text bring to life a mysterious island where cinder-eyed cats move like shadows, boats float above the ocean, whales fly across the dawn sky, and a parade of fish dances in the light of a campfire.
