Illustrated by
Casey Sorrow.
With very few words, Joyce's confection is more a series of playful feline images than an actual story. Sorrow's simple and elegant drawings create an amusing view of the "absent" cats and help deepen the tale. The book is so spare and old-fashioned in appearance that it seems aimed more at a coterie audience of adult Joyce fans than at children.
