Book Title: A Purr-fect Painting: Matisse's Other Great Cat
Book Description: Discover the world of Henri Matisse through the eyes of his cat, La Puce. Join him and his two companions, Minouche and Coussi, as they spend their days in Matisse's seaside apartment watching the artist create. As La Puce observes Matisse painting The Cat with the Red Fish, featuring Minouche, he too longs to be the subject of a painting. After Matisse falls ill, La Puce coaxes him back into painting by using himself as a model. When an accident happens, La Puce inspires the artist to create again . . . but this time using paper and scissors!
