Night Cat
Margaret Beames / Sue Hitchcock
Hardcover with dust jacket
Orchard Books
First Scholastic Printing (June 2003)
“Night Cat follows Oliver through a shadowy garden filled with tempting things to chase and hunt. He enjoys devouring moths and eluding his owner, but there are creatures about that are far more menacing than he. Touching a porcupine hurts; an owl and an opossum are huge and terrifying; and when a hard rain begins to fall, Oliver begs to come back inside. Hitchcock's deep, dark artwork, created entirely on a computer using Photoshop 3.5 and Painter 5, nevertheless appears deceptively organic. Only the cat's glowing amber eyes and contrasting shafts of white and yellow light illuminate the eerie nocturnal images. Scenes of Oliver's nighttime playground coupled with his cat's-eye-view narration result in a hauntingly ambient picture book. Exquisite art design and painstaking attention to detail are evident.”
