Adventure

Caramba is a cat who cannot fly, and in this fantasy, all cats can fly! But Caramba can't but he continues to try until he proves that he can do something that cats "don't do".

This book is about a cat named Caramba. He wishes he could fly like the other cats but he can't. One day his cousins Bug and Bijou try to teach Caramba how to fly. They take him up in the sky and let go of him. He lands in the ocean and everyone is worried about him but Caramba finds out he can swim. He ends up loving swimming.

Did you know cats can fly. Yup, I mean all cats but Caramba. He has tried and tried but just can not take flight. But he finds a great alternative in the end. This story was lovely. I love the pastel watercolors. They are vibrant and set off this story so well.

Award-winning author and illustrator Marie-Louise Gay, best known for her Stella and Sam books, brings us an endearing character in Caramba, a sweet, shy cat who bravely accepts that he is different, and then discovers his own special talent. Caramba is a fat, furry, striped cat with a big problem. Every single cat in the world can fly, he sighs, except me! Caramba would love to swoop and glide between the clouds, to feel the wind whistling through his fur. He tries to soar into the sky over and over again but always lands flat on his face, until finally he sadly accepts that he is earthbound. Don't be such a scaredy-cat, cry his cousins. All cats are meant to fly! They grab his paws and whisk him up into the sky for an impromptu flying lesson that ends with a big splash and a surprising discovery. (amazon)
