REVIEWS
Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review)
"Feline fanciers will be immediately charmed by the unnamed, yellow-eyed black cat who prowls the pages of this French import. . . . With evident affection and sly humor, this paean to a beloved pet perfectly captures this (and thus every) cat's allure."Booklist
"Truly stunning artwork. . . . For cat lovers, the art alone will delight. . . . The science is bonus, covering several physiological angles and unafraid of presenting higher-level vocab and concepts."
School Library Journal
“The digital drawings are impeccable, with miniscule cross-hatched lines creating dimension and light. . . . Sure to please those with feline friends.”
New York Times Book Review
“When Simler’s black cat finally springs into action, its comic timing is impeccable. So are Simler’s pen-and-ink drawings, which have a scratchy, sheddy quality all too appropriate to this subject.”
Publishers Weekly
“Just the right combination of facts, humor, and charm—plus a lovable, if not quite ‘fierce,’ kitty.”
