In 1986, two artists?one Russian, one American?joined forces, against
the odds, to tell a brand new kind of picture story.
In Here Comes the Cat!, a single mouse runs around shouting "HERE
COMES THE CAT!" again and again?in both English and Russian?until
everybody he knows is worried sick. Just when the tension can't get any
tenser, the cat arrives? with a giant wheel of cheese! A big party
breaks out and everyone?the reader included?laughs a huge laugh of
relief.
Funny, whip-smart, and illustrated in mesmerizing detail, Here Comes
the Cat! is a parable about fear, more relevant than ever, that follows
in the great tradition of Chicken Little. McSweeney's proudly presents
this deluxe new edition, complete with a fold-out dust-jacket, on the
25th anniversary of the book's conception.
