Description
A rambunctious kitty wakes up with a mission: he is going to finally catch his tail! Through mountains of toilet paper, under the covers, into the laundry basket (with a quick stop at the litter box), and beyond, the tireless kitty continues his never-ending chase until the unexpected motive for his mission is revealed.Debut author and illustrator Jimbo Matison uses his bright, lively illustrations and minimal text to tell a raucous story full of classic "cat humor" and high jinks that will leave young readers (and cat lovers of all ages) laughing out loud.
Reviews / Votes
The vibrant brush, ink and digital art brings to mind a Saturday-morning cartoon. * Kirkus Reviews * The brush and ink linework is energetic and expressive...A quirky addition for comic lovers. -- Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD * School Library Journal * Matison's drawings have the wild, scrawled looked and frenetic dynamism of contemporary animation, but there's a strong sense of discipline underlying all the craziness on these pages, whether verbal or visual, and not one line or joke feels indulgent or wasted. * Publishers Weekly * This book is so much fun; it is clear that Matison knows how to make young children laugh. -- Helen Burkart Presser, Educational Author and Lower School Librarian, Canterbury School, Fort Wayne, Indiana * Library Media Connection *More details
