"Join a city cat on a vibrant nocturnal adventure. Told in catchy couplets, the poem catalogs the cat's nighttime excursion through the urban environment, whether it's meeting other feline friends to 'catercall upon the wall' or starting a rollicking prowl for owls and pigeons. With wild, round goldenrod-colored eyes, a sleek striped body, and bottlebrush tail, the partying kitty gleams against the deep-black night sky and bustling cityscapes. Flat colors reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats' palette allow the lit windows and cat silhouettes to shine, and the large-headed, sly-looking cats that move fluidly across the pages are perfectly matched to the playful rhythm. the art and the cat's joie de vivre are enticing." --Kirkus "Williams and Hunt depict the nocturnal lives of urban felines in this jazzy rhyming story. Beneath a flat black night sky sparkling with yellow stars, a crew of cool cats 'creep about./ and sneak about,' appearing to have the run of things.


In city scenes mostly devoid of humans, the sleek subjects sneak around a subway entrance, spin on a playground carousel, 'swoon/ to the moon' atop a roof, and generally 'have a night to sing about' that's written in lively rhyme. Hunt's illustrations move across a cityscape with the energy of his curious, prowling subjects. When day breaks, the kitties finally head home to catch some much-needed Zzzs, offering readers a break-of-day bedtime story for young nighttime dreamers." -- Publishers Weekly.
