Synopsis

When a quiet-loving cat takes an unexpected tour of the neighbourhood, he's in for some rude surprises - until he discovers the purrfect solution. Homer is a very quiet cat. He lives in a very quiet house with a very quiet lady. But one day, while the lady is away, Homer hears a very loud crash, and out of the window he goes! Poor Homer just wants to find a spot where he can curl up undisturbed, but his hometown is a surprisingly hectic place. Will Homer ever manage to find a bit of calm in all the noise? And will he ever find his quiet lady? Reeve Lindbergh's cheerful, rhyming text pairs with Anne Wilsdorf's charming illustrations for a story-lover's ode to adventures both large and small. Bouncing text and lively art make this a perfect book for story time. With a librarian and library cat in starring roles, this is sure to do well in...yes, libraries! This is a new picture book from the author of My Little Grandmother Often Forgets .

Media Reviews
A charming diversion for cat (and library) lovers.
--Kirkus Reviews

Lindbergh's simple rhyming text makes a good match with Wilsdorf's exuberant ink-and-watercolor artwork, which captures all the fun of a cat on the loose.
--Booklist

Lindbergh's rhyming text is upbeat and rhythmic without being too bouncy, a quality that matches the personality of the title character. Wilsdorf's tiger-striped Homer has a sweet smile, expressive eyes, and a penchant for lounging that make him the perfect companion and a welcome guest at his owner's place of employ.
