A cat’s nighttime world in changing colors

A farmer’s cat travels through fields, farms, forests, and the city after sunset. Each scene appears twice: first in black and white, as a person might see it at night, then in vivid color and detail from the cat’s perspective. That visual contrast gives the journey its distinctive structure, inviting comparison between human and feline ways of seeing. This commemorative edition also includes new back matter about Dahlov Ipcar’s children’s books, written by her biographer, Carl Little.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A picture-book choice for children ages 4–8, as indicated in the supplied metadata.
  • For families interested in cats and nighttime settings.
  • For readers who enjoy comparing visual perspectives across illustrated scenes.

Book overview

Join the farmer's cat on his fascinating nighttime journey through fields, farms, forests, and even the city to see what only he can see after the sunsets.

Legendary artist Dahlov Ipcar mesmerizingly alternates between dark night scenes and vivid color to deliver a beautifully illustrated children's classic. Each scene is shown first as a human would see it at night in blacks and whites, and then as a cat sees it in with vivid color and fine detail.

This commemorative edition features new back matter about Dahlov's children's books from her biographer, poet and art critic Carl Little.
