Mixed feelings on this one. I really didn't think it was about a boy and his missing cat who he is giving advice to until I read the LOC record.

I can't remember what "best of" list I saw this on, but I placed a recommendation for purchase and was surprised when it popped up in my eBook feed months later. It is a book that needs to be read more than once. (BTW, don't read the synopsis on the verso before you read it). I also thought the main character could have been a girl.

Beautiful art. Spare text that adds to the feeling of being small. An emotional twist I did not see coming. Love this one so much!

I didn't expect this book to be so sad. It was entertaining but sad. The illustrations were lovely.

A child navigating their city home explains tips and tricks for getting around, which turn out to be aimed at a lost pet, as the snow starts to fall faster and faster. I love the gradual twist in the story as you realize who the child is talking to and what the situation is. Tension builds as the snow comes down more furiously. This somber story has an ultimately hopeful ending and is a great childs-eye-view of an urban landscape.

Read this picture book after listening to the latest episode of The Yarn podcast. Shelved it on Ugly Cry. Consider yourself warned.

A beautifully illustrated book about a child who is looking for their lost cat in a big city. The small size and details in the illustrations would make a better one-on-one story.
