review 1: I love this book. The writing and illustration style are very reminiscent of Lauren Child's style. Luckily, they also live up to her standards. The art is a lovely comibination of patterns and textures, and incorporates textiles in the collages. The text size and font contributes to the book's vitality. Grandma Flapjack's yarn and knitting needle bun is a perfect thing! The story is a grand adventure from the cat's point of view. Highly enjoyable!
review 2: Boris is a stray cat, who sometimes wishes for a home, and sometimes just wants a place to nap. He finds a comfy old box, and is just starting to drift off...when he is picked up and shipped out. He is sent back and forth, even to outer space, but no one wants him. Until he winds up on Grandma Flapjac
... morek's doorstep. The mixed media illustrations are quite fun, but this one (because of the erratic text placement) is best for older preschoolers. less
