Illustrated by
Lauren Castillo.
A small smoky-gray cat follows a family on its trip through Europe. She hitches rides, cadges food, and invites herself behind the scenes. Banks's text is confident and rhythmic, dotted with rhymes and half-rhymes that bounce off the tongue. Castillo's drawings capture both the grandeur of great cities and their human dynamism. An appended spread identifies the cities and the sights.
