Riassunto

Good puss or bad cat?
Jekyll or Hyde?
One and the same?
Who decides?

Puss Jekyll is the soft cuddly cat of the house grooming her fur, but at night she becomes Cat Hyde, hunting mice, all fang and claw. Page by page this delightful book explores the two very distinct personalities of the enchanting pet. Sleeping in a cozy spot or prowling in the moonlight, lapping milk from a bowl or stalking a defenceless trembling vole, playing with a ball of wool or savaging her prey, graceful and aristocratic or ruthless street fighter, can this really be the same creature? The beautifully evocative rhythmic and rhyming text is accompanied by luminous colored-pencil and watercolor drawings that make the reader want to reach out and feel the fur. This treat for cat-lovers of all ages is from the highly acclaimed author of bestselling picture books such as Tell Me Something Before You Go to Sleep, and the illustrator of such classics as Martin Waddell'sThe Pig in the Pond and the Boston Globe Horn Book Award winning In the Rain with Baby Duck.

Recensione

A great book ... As well as appealing to cat people, this appeals to story lovers. I love it. I also love the language, the sometimes jarring rhyme and sense of threat against the comfort[ing] ... This is EXACTLY the kind of writing, in a 'cat' book for children, that people should be producing.

(The Book Hive)

'Cat-lovers of all ages will drool over this elegant picture book.'

(Carousel)

 'This exquisite picture book is a visual feast and an audio treat that demands to be read aloud.'  'An absolutely delightful book ... to be cherished by cat lovers of all ages.'

(Armadillo)

'The purrfect picture book'

(Your Cat)

Joyce Dunbar's poetic consideration of the nature of cats offers . . . the very essence of feline duality: that the purring creature so soft and silky is also the demon that spits and springs.
