# Up Cat Down Cat - Board Book

by **Steve Light** (Author), **Steve Light** (Illustrator)

**From the creator of the celebrated _Black Bird Yellow Sun_ comes another bold and beautiful concept book, this time playing with opposites and reversals.**

Black cat. White cat. One is _long,_ stretching out, and the other is _short,_ crouching_._ When both perch in a window, one tail is _straight,_ the other one _curly._ One has an _empty_ plate, and the other a _full_ one. With a mouse to entertain them, variously _lost_ and _found,_ they move through the day, until one cat is _awake_ and the other _asleep,_ but for how long? With enchanting ink illustrations full of pure color, simple shapes, and an elegant use of negative and positive space, this concept board book for the youngest of readers is a joy to behold -- and as graceful as a leaping cat.
