Both children and parents will appreciate how the cat soothes the little girl and silently encourages her to explore the bigger world and experience new things.
"I was delighted with this book when it arrived. The pictures are very engaging and the story light and humorous. The qaulity of the book is what had struck me at first, I was really suprised how well it was made. It made me feel nostalgic." - Norah Ellis-Thomas, Bookery II (Ithaca, NY)
"The illustrations match the warm tone of the story as they depict the two friends doing everything together with the little girl taking the lead. What a great, subtle way of encouraging kids to look at the world from another perspective! She learns to not be afraid of new situations and gains self confidence." - ProperNoun
"An ebulliently illustrated South Korean import...Beautifully colored and textured in traditional Korean style and bursting with vitality, expressiveness and movement." - Kirkus Reviews
"Kwon’s brilliant colors, simple forms and meticulously drawn floral patterns render even common objects pleasing and gemlike in this tale of friendship...Youngsters will be fascinated by the way child and pet influence each other, and impressed with Kwon’s quiet powers of observation." - Publishers Weekly
"The bright, colorful illustrations feature light gray outlining and accents that add a luminous quality and increase the imaginative nature of the drawings. For cat lovers everywhere, this is an attractive addition." - School Library Journal
"The artwork is striking, with patterns and details of dress, furniture, and plant life exquisitely rendered." - Booklist
"It's a happy marriage of childlike simplicity and Eastern influences, and it pushes me a few inches closer to breaking down and getting my kids a kitten." - Book Buds
"The illustrations are exquisite, detailed (the beautiful and complicated patterns on the girl’s clothing and items in her home, for one), everything outlined in a thick, silver line, making Kwon’s artwork positively glow." - Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
"...a book for anyone who has ever loved a cat, or for anyone who's just plain curious." - Wonder Korner
"...charming picture book...Kwon's pictures effectively blend traditional Korean touches -- fabrics, pottery, screens -- with such modern, everyday kids' stuff as toys, bikes, sneakers and a computer." - The Washington Post
"The illustrations are bursting with playfulness...This book encourages readers to reach out to others, to see the world differently, to try new things, and to be less afraid." - Cheryl Rainfield, Uplifting Picture Books that Don't Preach
