A little boy s cat is missing and he is worried. Beautiful illustrations and a brief easy-to-read text lead small readers on a round-the-world quest for the lost cat and to an ending that is a wonderful surprise. Along the way the little boy meets a wide variety of people all trying to be helpful and sees many beautiful members of the cat family strikingly pictured in Eric Carle s distinctive collage technique. This popular book first published more than a decade ago has now been completely re-illustrated by Eric Carle and is more appealing than ever. We are proud to re-introduce it now for the delight of a new generation of readers.
