Cool Cat's world is barren and brown, littered with old tin cans and broken bottles; but that's not quite his style. With the help of a few brushes, a lot of paint, a troop of friendly animals, and some perseverance, he transforms the world around him from a bleak wasteland to a lush paradise. Two-time Caldecott Medalist Nonny Hogrogian depicts this resourceful feline's story with a brilliant palette, but without a single word.

A polar bear rides a whale to a tree rising out of the water. At the top of the tree is a tree house. The polar bear is joined by a brown bear in a boat. The bears find that the tree house is the perfect place to read their books. When the water recedes, they are joined by flamingos, panda bears, and other animals that come by land and by air. The tree house is a place of wonder, where, among other beautiful sights, a brown bear catches snowflakes in a butterfly net. Artists Marije Tolman and her father, Ronald Tolman, bring their unique vision to this picture book without words.
