I went walking.
What did you see?
I saw a black cat
Looking at me.
These catchy stanzas frolic through the Australian author Sue WilliamsÕs simple, funny read-aloud picture book that tracks a crazy-haired boyÕs stroll through the countryside. The boy sees a black cat, then a brown horse, then a red cow, and so on, and before he knows it, heÕs being trailed by the entire menagerie! The Australian illustrator Julie Vivas brings the parade to life in lovely, lively watercolorsÑwhen the pink pig looks at the boy, for example, the boy sprays off his muddy body with a hose. Big type, repetition, friendly art, clean designÑand the visual guessing game created by introducing each animal only partially at firstÑmake this beloved tale a winner at story time.
