School Library Journal - 12/01/2014 PreS-Gr 1—This tale of feline friendship opens as a skimmer hat is floating in the breeze. A pondering cat reflects on the past and what led to the lucky day on which two furry friends crossed paths. Listing the countless "what ifs," the story unfolds to reveal a chance meeting where the charming pair become one. Verde's rhythmic text floats by in a breathtaking manner, ("Whatever it was that brought us together…That pull, that tug, that mysterious tether"), complementing this heartfelt story of destiny. Reynolds's characteristic illustrations provide a delicate and buoyant representation of the joys of friendship. The artist carefully renders the two felines in a combination of ink, gouache, watercolor, and tea. This title is a wonderful introduction to the concept of serendipity and the magic of true friendship.—Claire Moore, Darien Library, CT - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
