An omniscient narrator insists that cat Matilda, pictured in upbeat daytime scenes, and cat Hans, depicted exclusively at night, are "SO different!"; readers will see that troublemaking Hans is really "well behaved" Matilda in a black mask. After Matilda tells the police when and where Hans will strike next, a surprising plot twist invites reflection. Bold graphic illustrations humorously capture the split personae.
