Big gray Cat is sleepy. He would like to nap. Kitten, however, wants to play. Reluctantly, Cat agrees to a game of hide-and-seek. High, low, no matter where Cat hides, Kitten finds him. Even in a flower pot! Finally, Cat decides he will take his nap, but guess who is already cuddled in his bed? Yuly's artwork is as sprightly as the tale, which milks all the humor from a situation that mirrors the experiences of a younger and older sibling. The simple shapes outlined in black stand out nicely against the pure blue, gray, and white backgrounds. Little ones will get a laugh out of this book.
