A plucky stray cat takes a Grand Tour in Kate Banks' story of a family on a European vacation.

Readers will pore over the spreads to find where City Cat is hiding in each city, and detailed backmatter explains the history behind the sites in each locale.

A Frances Foster Book
A stray gray cat stows away in a family’s luggage for the European vacation of a lifetime. Our feline tour guide follows the family by way of truck, train, and boat, from Italy to France to England and so on. While Banks’ rhyming verse doesn’t often pin down City Cat’s exact location—“City Cat scales ragged walls. / She romps through ruins set in stone. / Then tiptoes through a sacred space / and cuddles in a hidden place”—Castillo’s soft drawings set the scene in great detail (the one just described, for instance, puts us at Rome’s Colosseum). The renderings of place are meticulous, and the cat moves quietly and subtly from location to location. Parents will have fun pointing out identifying details, like a French flag waving in the wind, while little kids will enjoy admiring the cityscapes and finding the surreptitious feline on each spread. Back matter includes a map charting the cat’s route and offers up further information on each of the sites visited. Pair with Caroline Lazo’s Someday When My Cat Can Talk (2008) for more kitty-does-Europe sightseeing adventures. Grades K-3. --Ann Kelley
