Her kitten dozes nearby. But when Kitten notices a mouse and dives after it through a framed poster on the wall\, an epic chase through time\, art\, and history ensues. Is it a dream? That’s up to the reader to decide\, but for the kitten\, every leap and bound is full of suspense and makes for a masterpiece. \n\nCaldecott Honor–winning and New York Times bestsellingauthor-illustrator Brian Lies creates a truly unique picture book journey that invites young readers through the galleries of an art museum as well as through time\, space\, and history. As the cat and mouse leap from one page to the next\, they are portrayed in the style of masterful artworks from history—an ancient Egyptian relief\, an illuminated manuscript\, a stained-glass window\, a ceramic dog—each painstakingly and lovingly re-created in its original media by Brian Lies. When the sly mouse gets away\, Kitten finds himself lost and alone. Will art help him find his way home? \nThis visual showstopper by an award-winning and bestselling picture book creator offers readers a page-turning cat and mouse chase\, an introduction to famous works of art throughout history\, an epic adventure story\, and a homecoming. Back matter includes information about how each of the illustrations in the book was created\, notes on the original artworks featured in the book\, and an afterword inviting young readers to make\, create\, and build things. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by Fondazione di Studi di Storia dell’Arte Roberto Longhi and Civita Mostre e Musei.
