The Cat Came Back with panache!

The Cat Came Back, and I'm glad he did! Fred Penner's exciting new rendition of an old folk song that he had previously made famous is wonderfully simpatico with Renee Reichert's beautifully rendered pastels. Each spread is a masterpiece that can stand on its own merits. Her artistic style and approach are both unique and warmly familiar at the same time. She takes us through the cat's wild adventures with skill and flair. As the suspense of the cat's certain grand exit builds, the words and pictures create a humorous tale of the cat's staying power to Mr. Johnson's chagrin. The slyly hidden details in each illustration make reading the story a new experience every time for adult and child alike. This new and witty presentation of an old and loved folk song is destined to become a classic in it's own right. This time, I think that Cat IS here to stay!
