Brina the Cat #1

Four expressive cats — Brina in her red harness front and center, a fluffy gray cat, a small black kitten, and a sleek orange cat — pose together on a grassy meadow with misty mountains and pine forests stretching behind them, making for a cover that radiates charm and adventure. Giorgio Salati and Christian Cornia have crafted something genuinely inviting here, and this Papercutz volume subtitled The Gang of the Feline Sun promises the kind of ensemble camaraderie that's just as appealing to grown-up cat enthusiasts as it is to younger readers. At $14.99, it's a warm, beautifully illustrated starting point for what looks like a delightful feline world.
