City Cat

Kate Banks and Lauren Castillo's City Cat is a picture book about a cat on the move and a vacationing family whose paths meet and cross as they visit all the great cities of Europe.

A plucky stray cat takes a Grand Tour in Kate Banks' story of a family on a European vacation. As the family travels from one city to the next, the cat finds its own means—by bus, boat, train, truck, and bike—to tag along on the trip, visiting historic landmarks like Buckingham Palace and the Cathedral of Notre Dame along the way. Readers will pore over the spreads to find where City Cat is hiding in each city, and detailed backmatter explains the history behind the sites in each locale.
