Robinson's first solo picture book, after his collaborations with Matt de la Pena (the Newbery-winning Last Stop on Market Street) and Kelly DiPucchio (our beloved Gaston), is a quietly mind-blowing little story. A cat notices a hole in the wall, and follows a twin cat inside. A girl follows, and finds a twin girl, along with a delightfully strange mirror world, full of happy kids and round balls and round holes that echo the bright round beads at the end of each of the girl's braids. It's a story for you and your young readers to figure out—and invent for yourselves—as you read it again and again. (Age 2 to 5)
