Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2006)

Averill's unpolished, utterly charming illustrations, printed in alternating black-and-white and full-color spreads, enliven this reissue. The picture of all the cats celebrating Jenny's birthday by dancing the sailors' hornpipe in Washington Square Park is alone worth the price of the book.

It's a big day for Jenny Linsky, the shy little black cat of Greenwich Village, when her brothers, Checkers and Edward, take her out for her birthday. They pick up her notorious friends along the way, including the twins Romulus and Remus, who have brought a special present, and Pickles, the Fire Cat, who gathers everyone into his red fire truck to take them to the park. There they will invite friends and strangers to share a picnic supper and dance the night away. Join Jenny and her friends in their romp around town in this beautiful birthday story!

Ages 4 and up.
