A heartwarming, gorgeously illustrated picture book of an adorable cat finding its forever home, from acclaimed author-artist Tim Miller. Tiny, brave, playful kitty goes on an adventure through the crowded, noisy city in a story about finding love and kindness in unexpected places. The kitten' s bravery, loneliness, playfulness, joy, camaraderie, and curiosity create a rich, emotional journey. The story reflects Tim Miller' s passionate advocacy for animal rescue. No tiny kitty fan will be able to resist this triumphant story of overcoming the odds in the big city.
"The clever structure, a story told entirely through two-word phrases composed of adjectives and then the nouns "kitty" and "city," makes for a hypnotic, satisfying read-aloud experience, though the order changes after the first two pages, the only time the kitty precedes the city. A cozy story for cat lovers and anyone looking for a happy ending. " -- Kirkus Reviews "This imaginative and creative book. . . will appeal to all children, as adventure, beginning reader, or even as an inviting cityscape to pore over. " -- School Library Journal "Miller (Horse Meets Dog) chronicles his protagonist' s travels with compositions that range from bird' s-eye views to dramatic low angles, while the abbreviated text may remind readers of their own pets' epithets: ' Noisy city. / Hiding kitty' ; ' Wildlife city. / Playful kitty. ' " -- Publishers Weekly "The illustrated cartoonlike spreads, done in acrylic gouache, enable children to follow the journey of the orange-and-white cat as she navigates the busy metropolis and finds kindness and love. " -- Booklist
Tim Miller grew up on a dairy farm in Snohomish, Washington, with lots of cows and ducks, who inspired him to write this book (although none of them ever wore a tutu). After milking one too many cows, Tim mooved east to study at the School of Visual Arts, where he earned his bachelor' s in cartooning and his master' s in art education. Moo Moo in a Tutu is Tim' s picture book debut as an author-illustrator. He lives in New York City, and you can visit him online at www. timmillerillustration. com.
