This is a delightfully quixotic book about all the places a playful cat can be found while hiding from a little girl named Claire who is looking for a kitty-cat for her birthday. Inspired by Claire's immediate and relentless search for a promised cat, every time she entered her grandmother's house, this book's poetic text and elegant illustrations help all of us see just how unusual some of those places a cat might choose to be. This is a wonderful book for a parent to read to a child, and then, for a child to read back to a parent.
