Starred Review
"The humorous text includes sophisticated vocabulary, with words such as configure and astraddle. The image of a feline pair with limbs linked (for "cats akimbo") is particularly funny, as is the cat matryoshka doll. The visuals are witty and whimsical but also spot-on in their portrayals of typical cat behavior--right through to the final, purrfect catnap."--Kirkusstarred review
