[Inside Cat] leaves you breathless . . . [A] delicious charmer . . . Excellent for stimulating creative-thinking, art, and writing activities.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Wenzel’s multimedia spreads are loose and open-ended, rich and suggestive; they’ll leave readers wondering what’s out there beyond their own windows—and beyond their own experiential selves.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“[I]mpressive . . . The rhyming verse is immensely satisfying . . . [T]he closing endpapers delight with another feline surprise. Just ask Inside Cat: surprises are always around the bend for those curious enough to expand their horizons.”—The Horn Book Magazine
“[C]lever and enjoyable, [Inside Cat] is well suited to children and adults alike. . . . This cat’s world is filled with imagination and wonder, and readers of all ages will love this unique, cleverly executed story.”—School Library Journal
“[Inside Cat is a] tour de force in terms of perspective, imagination, and creativity, [and it] reveals new details with each viewing, especially the final all-exterior spread.”—Booklist, starred review
“Wenzel cleverly depicts the inside of the house as predominantly negative space with partially transparent outlines, while the views out of the windows in varied shapes are depicted in vivid color. . . . The soothing cadence with its recurring refrain (‘Inside cat knows many windows, finds a view wherever it goes’) makes this a pleasing bedtime pick for those who want to contemplate what their pets think of the outside world and enjoy sparking their own imaginations before sleep.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"“Wenzel is a master of perspective. . . . With that diminutive last word Inside Cat strides out the front door into a vast, jumbled, visually cacophonous cityscape — a page turn to rival the cut to color that accompanied Judy Garland’s first steps in Oz.” —The New York Times
