As an ardent environmentalist, lover of nature and wildlife, with great concern for our planet and co-inhabitants thereof, August endeavors to raise awareness for animals and the environment through art. As the director of a small organization, where artists donate a portion of their profits to animal and environmental causes, time spent on artwork is always a welcome reprieve!

I'm THAT Cat by August E. Allen is a delightful picture book that follows the playful adventures of adorable kittens. Each kitten experiences unique escapades that are both entertaining and relatable. From a curious kitten discovering a red ball of cotton and getting tangled in it to an adventurous pilot soaring through the skies, young readers are invited to join in the cats' fun experiences. The stories capture the innocence and joy of childhood, inviting young readers to accompany a kitten as it celebrates its birthday and gets a tummy ache from eating cake, and another as it navigates a rainy day with a small umbrella. Finally, readers will join the last kitten as it reflects on its fun-filled day before bedtime.
I'm THAT Cat is a fun read that will delight youngsters with its whimsical adventures. August E. Allen presents each kitten's adventure through enchanting rhyming poetry, giving the narration a rhythmic and musical tone. The stories encourage children to explore simple pleasures, celebrate special moments, and reflect on joyful experiences, making it an ideal read for cat lovers and families alike. The vibrant illustrations by the author enhance the narrative by vividly depicting each unique cat, infusing the story with humor and personality that will resonate with readers of all ages. With its engaging illustrations and entertaining stories, the book captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the simple joys of everyday life, inviting readers to explore the world through the eyes of these adventurous felines. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and recommend sharing it with your children to introduce them to these charming cats and enjoy their stories.
