How to love a cat:
Hold him gently in your lap. But don't panic if he bites—he's only playing. Be careful not to scare him away. Listen for his motor. He's telling you he loves you, too!
After being out of print for many years, the beloved story about a persistent little girl, a capricious cat, and the wild apartment-building chase that ensues is available again. From Joan L. Nodset and Steven Kellogg, the author and illustrator of the original two-color book, comes this enlarged edition, exquisitely reillustrated with full-color mixed-media paintings.

| PreSchool-Grade 2—An affectionate, ginger-haired girl pursues an expressive, ginger-furred cat through the hallways, stairwells, and rooftop of an apartment building. She coaxes the shy feline over to her, only to scare it away by holding it too close. The animal flees, pursued by the dogged child. There is a rapprochement, and then another misunderstanding when the cat gives a playful bite. In the end, both cat and girl let down their guard, and the story ends with them cuddling as the feline purrs ("I hear your motor"). This picture book, originally published in two colors and out of print for many years, has been reissued with Kellogg's full-color, mixed-media illustrations. Color is used quite effectively, foreshadowing the eventual union of the girl and her pet by giving them matching plumage. The settings also echo the emotions of the protagonists, alternating between dark, gloomy hallways and sunny rooftops and porches. The text, which consists exclusively of the child's dialogue, is both fresh and timeless. It accurately captures the nuances of this duo's evolving relationship. It's a quiet book, but the universality of the topic gives it plenty of kid appeal.—Rachael Vilmar, Eastern Shore Regional Library, Salisbury, MD

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Steven Kellogg does it again. The original version, Come Here, Cat, was published in 1973 in two color (black and tabby cat orange)and it was 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. It is still my favorite. This new, larger edition, in full, vibrant color is stunning. The story is strong, about a young girl who befriends a stray cat and patiently wins its trust. It is a powerful yet gentle book about friendship. I Also prefer the original title, Come Here, Cat, because it implies that the story is about developing a friendship. The new title, Come Back, Cat, implies repairing a friendship. After twenty-five years, the text is still perfect and the vivid new illustrations will delight today's children. Congratulations, Steven Kellogg, for a marvelous new edition. |
