The golden jubilee edition of a children's classic first published in 1969.

Join the farmer's cat on his fascinating nighttime journey through fields, farms, forests, and even the city to see what only he can see after the sunsets.

Legendary artist Dahlov Ipcar mesmerizingly alternates between dark night scenes and vivid color to deliver a beautifully illustrated children's classic. Each scene is shown first as a human would see it at night in blacks and whites, and then as a cat sees it in with vivid color and fine detail.

This commemorative edition features new back matter about Dahlov's children's books from her biographer, poet and art critic Carl Little.

      First published in 1969. When the farmer puts the cat out for the night, the cat doesn't sleep; he goes exploring. Double-page spreads alternate between dark scenes showing silhouettes of objects, animals, etc., and those showing what the cat can see with his night vision. The guessing-game nature of the story ("Where do you think the cat is walking now?") encourages interaction, and Ipcar's trademark simple but modern illustrations have great child appeal. Children will enjoy the joke at the end: in the morning, with the cat curled up in an armchair, the farmer says, "What a lazy cat. He sleeps all night and he sleeps all day, too!" Appended with an illuminating afterword by Ipcar scholar Carl Little. Martha V. Parravano
