Description

Six linked stories full of friendship, silliness, and the little moments that make life good Bruno, the cat in the checkered cap, takes life as it comes. When it's too rainy to go outside, his friends come around for breakfast. When a fish invites him into the river, he follows it. Why not! When the canary forgets how to talk, Bruno helps out.

Days come and go, and for Bruno they always bring something interesting. And once in a while, a day comes along that is just about perfect!

Critic Reviews

"Netherlands-born Catharina Valckx has a writing style that seems to revel in obliqueness and gentle surrealism, well complemented here by French illustrator Nicolas Hubesch's wobbly-line cartooning. Bruno is a book that blends the mundane and the bizarre to interesting effect and may appeal to quirky primary-schoolers." The Financial Times
