"A little girl’s letter to her grandmother details recent events in the life of her cat, Stripe. … But the letter's final line articulates the outcome of a marvelous parallel story that has been told only in the illustrations. … Always wholly child-centered, Tanneke Wigersma and Nynke Mare Talsma’s terrific picture book never strays from the young girls viewpoint, and never reveals too much."
