Every once in a while I find a picture book that features a vertical double page spread that requires the reader to turn the book sideways. I just love that; the illustrator throwing out something a little unexpected, forcing me to move my hands, shift weight around, and really pay a little closer attention to what's in front of my eyes. I simply had to do it with this book.
Here Cat and Owl are going back to their arboreal roots, having built their own literal love nest on their new island home.
And still they are being spied on by natives who they have yet to meet. That's coming in the next double page spread.
