Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Leo teaches his cat Pallas all about cubes by applying his knowledge of geometry to their Stone Age world. Funny illustrations and stories provide a humorous introduction to math concepts. Information boxes accompany each story to explore how scientists, architects, and artists have all been inspired by the cube's form and how cubes are applied in the natural and designed world.

Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.
