Taiko on a Windy Night

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kate Kiesler. In poetic language, the text relates the nighttime explorations of Taiko the cat. Absorbed in his adventures, which involve dogs, a raccoon, and numerous things blown about by the fall wind, the cat ignores his owner's first call to come in, but after a tense encounter with a strange dog, Taiko welcomes the chance to snuggle up safely in the girl's warm bed. Rendered in dark pastels, the illustrations aptly portray the curious cat and his suburban surroundings.
