Summary

Kitten and the Night Watchman


Winner of the Ezra Jack Keats Award and the Margaret Wise Brown Prize Five starred reviews! Selected as a Best Book of 2018 by The Boston Globe , Kirkus Reviews , Publishers Weekly , and BookPage ​ "Empathetic, poetic, and a joy to look at, cute kitty and all." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A stray kitten changes the way the watchman sees nighttime in this tender book based on a true story, illustrated by Strictly No Elephants artist Taeeun Yoo. The night watchman hugs his wife and kids and drives to work. All night he is alone. Every hour he makes his rounds. He sees the stars twinkling. He hears the sounds of the night: ki-DEE ki-DEE ki-DEE shhhhheeeeeEEEERRRROOOOooooommmmmm Woof! Woof! Woof! Meeeoooow. When he is joined by a stray kitten, the night suddenly seems different. Has the kitten found a new home? Kitten and the Night Watchman is inspired by the true story of author John Sullivan meeting a stray cat while working as a night watchman. The cat, Beebe, was John's companion for seventeen years.
