Description

Cat and Tiger look at different masks used in films on television and in the theatre. Book band 11 (Lime)

Quick Summary

Cat and Tiger serve as friendly guides leading curious young readers through a visual celebration of masks, from ancient theatrical traditions to modern movie magic, showing how a simple painted face can become anything from a roaring tiger to a sly villain. Children will adore flipping through the vibrant photographs and illustrations that reveal the secret world of mask-making, including how actors transform into creatures and characters they recognize from their favorite shows and movies. If your kid loves exploring how things work behind the scenes in "The Magic School Bus" or enjoys the animal-guide format of "National Geographic Readers," they'll be equally fascinated by this peek into the art of disguise. This book is ideally suited for kindergarten through third graders who are developing reading confidence, especially those who love theatre, movies, or creative dress-up play.
