As a confirmed cat-lover, I found this sweet picture-book, first published in 1985, immensely engaging, enjoying both story and artwork. The reader is given a tour of the skyline of New York City - there are views of the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and (poignantly) the Twin Towers - as Cat is blown by each landmark. The resolution to the tale, although unlikely (of course, this is a story about a cat and a bird who are best friends, so reality isn't really the emphasis), is heartwarming, and the conclusion - in which the human returns, and is confirmed in his belief that his animals have done nothing but nap all day - is hilarious. Now I'm wondering what my Breezy-boy does, when I'm away all day - I knew there was a reason he's been so sleepy in the evenings! ( )
