"Everyone knows where Tippy Toes iswhen the sun is up and the day is his. The Mouse in his hole knows the soft pit pat...of Tippy Toes's step on his welcome mat." Everyone can see what the rascally, orange kitty, Tippy Toes, gets up to during the daylight hours - sneaking up on mouse holes, snoozing in dresser drawers etc. But no one knows where he heads once the sky is dark and the moon is up.

Very young children will recognize flower, cat, mouse etc and participate in the physical interactivity of this story. An adorable new picture book by the wonderful Betsy Lewin of Click Clack Moo fame. This book is told in rhyming couplets, and with its extra thick pages and cut outs it's perfect for very young children (toddlers and preschoolers. I loved the colorful artwork, with its vibrant black outlines, which capture the curiosity and personality of Tippy Toes the cat. Everyone knows where he goes during the daytime, but nobody knows where he goes at night! At the end, we see that his young owner knows where he goes, since the cat is safely curled up in his arms. A very nice bedtime story for preschoolers.
