Without words, Emily Arnold McCully tells the rambunctious tale of four kittens whose mama has gone off hunting for food. When she accidentally gets shut up in the feed barn, the kittens are free to go exploring. But their mischief-making leads to a run-in with a hungry hawk! Luckily, help comes their way from the most unexpected of places. And four weary kittens are finally reunited with their ever-so-grateful mama. Winner of the Caldecott Medal for Mirette on the High Wire, Emily Arnold McCully has perfectly captured the playful antics of kittens everywhere. And her unspoken message of parental love and protection brings added richness to a book that children will pore over again and again.
