Booklist - 10/01/2024 When Girl adopts Cat from the mobile pet shelter, everything is initially wonderful. But then, rules come along—no scratching the window screen, no chasing the baby—and Cat decides to quit. Cat escapes into the darkness of the outdoors, where the trees are full of peering eyes, and between the night chill and the rain, Cat soon realizes that they may have made a mistake. Returning home after quitting is the best decision ever. The story uses sparse but beautiful phrases to tell a concise and charming story of friendship, stubbornness, and the value of modifying bad behavior. The digital artwork is packed with fun Easter eggs (the most giggle-worthy being a father on Zoom wearing a business shirt and boxers) and uses color effectively to delineate between the pastel-happy home and the tense blue-and-black expanse of night. While much of the humor of the story is expressed in cheeky spot illustrations, the illustrator creates powerful drama through double-page spreads of Cat’s face in their moment of behavioral realization and discovery. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
