But Mandy comes up with the perfect plan to get Rupert dancing again . . . <br><b>Michael di Capua Books</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>." . . Feiffer is at his best with the absurdly comic, and some of that is on display here as the lanky Rupert dances his little feline heart out." --<i>BCCB</i></p><p>"This warmly humorous book may resonate most with those familiar with the love of dance or the delicate dignity of cats, but the story of friendship and shared passion at its heart will appeal to any reader." --<i>The Horn Book</i></p><p>"*Feiffer has created a compelling, yet concise, sequential narrative that shows the importance of imagination and being flexible . . . A first purchase for cat fans and free spirits everywhere" --<i>School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW</i></p><p>"Feiffer's familiar, sketchy Magic Marker artwork is especially rough here, compounding the story's already childlike sense of whimsy. The straightforward storytelling, built upon a strong sense of feline behaviors and attitudes, will appeal especially to cat aficionados." --<i>Booklist</i></p><p>"The free-form illustrations, done in bright strokes of black, ginger, pinks and greens, swirl gracefully about the pages and pop off the white background . . . A happy romp for terpischorean cat lovers." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><p>"Feiffer is at his best drawing the two flying through the air in a cat-and-human pas de deux: it's a quintessentially Feifferian moment." --<i>Publishers Weekly </i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jules Feiffer</b>, cartoonist, children's book author and illustrator, novelist, playwright and screenwriter, is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
