Illustrated by
J. Klassen.
In this infectious boogie down Easy Street, readers are invited to count the dancing felines in multiples of two: "Six cats tango in red capes / up and down the fire escapes." Klassen injects lots of life into his digital spreads (the cats' different costumes are particularly attention-grabbing)--no mean feat, given that he's working with a nocturnal palette.
