Goodreads

Half a cat lies on half a rug, on half a floor, in half a house. Everything in this story is half of something until a knock comes at the door. This is a whimsical and quirky story with no major plot. The text is simple and sparse. The gouache and ink illustrations are beautiful and bring the half house to half life. Hand this to fans of quirky reads. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
