Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA Metafiction has never been more cuddly or as much fun. The brush and ink cartoons are a hoot, and the dialogue balloons are easy to read. They are afforded every opportunity to respond and take an active part in the cats' adventure. This book teaches children about the connection that develops when a story is completely engaging. Schwarz incorporates many of the same elements that made the first book so much fun: page manipulation, bold colors, and the ongoing dialogue between the cats and readers. They eventually succeed, with readers' help, and return with a pleasant surprise (for cat lovers, at least). No longer content to stay within the confines of their book, the three felines conspire to escape the pages and see the world. PreS-Gr 3–Tiny, Moonpie, and Andr� are back in this follow-up to There Are Cats in This Book (Candlewick, 2008).
