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.

This is a reprint of the 1969 book that stands the test of time well. The story starts at bedtime when the farmer puts the cat outside for the night. Since the cat's night vision is so good the book begins a guessing game of pages in silhouette and a question on what it could be and then a high contrast illustration on the next page revealing what the cat sees. The Author/Illustrator does an excellent job of making the story interactive and intriguing. This is a good book for cat lovers who are curious about their pets’ lives when they are not around.
