Mildred the Gallery Cat
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 KLAUS FLUGGE PRIZE.
A colourfully illustrated, witty story about a wannabe-artist cat living in an art gallery and its quest to find inspiration and become a fully-fledged artist, inspired by Tate’s own resident gallery cat Mildred, this bold debut is sure to delight art lovers big and small.
In a grand gallery, in a little basket, there lay a very sleepy cat named Mildred. Everyone thought she was the laziest cat in the world, but sometimes, in the dead of night… she snuck into the empty gallery.
Join Mildred as she explores art that makes her happy, hungry, and even introspective. With so many inspirations, can she find a way to become an artist herself?
With clever nods to some of the world’s greatest art, this delightful tale is an instant classic.

. It is a very cute story and shows beautiful art and builds kids interest for art
good one I like this book
She is almost like me!
Nice story and illustrations although some of the text appeals more to grown-ups than children.
It was a good book
interesting book
I really like this book because it was based on a true story of a cat who lived in a museum and enjoyed art.
I liked Mildred. I liked the sculpture at the end.
I like it when Mildred made a really cool design. I also liked the bit when Mildred scampered back to her bed. I would recommend this book to my friend because it's funny.
This book was OK but it was a bit quick to read.
