I Am a Cat: Art Notebook (Half)

"Bringing Art Even Closer to You" with the Pocket-Sized Art Notebook "half"

A mini-sized art notebook that fits in the palm of your hand and is easy to carry around.
It features a "horizontal lay-flat" design, allowing it to stay open so you can write comfortably all the way to the center.
