Rupert Can Dance ~ Written and Illustrated by Jules Feiffer





















If you love cats and children's literature, you'll definitely want to add this book to your picture-book collection. As the title suggests, Rupert is a dancing cat.

I wish that I were as graceful as Rupert, and maybe I will become so soon. (You see, my mom wants me to take dance lessons). However, as Rupert tells us in this story, dancing - or any other activity, for that matter - is enjoyable insofar as it is an unobserved and free activity. Dance instruction, by its very nature (observed!), is anathema to felines and any of the rest of us who agree with Rupert's ideas concerning what makes an activity enjoyable.
