Jennifer Taylor's mixed-media art adds comedic zing to this quirky tale of Frankie, an apron-wearing marmalade cat who has the run of a hardware store at night. He empties one wastebasket, spilling its contents onto the floor, and “cleans” two counters.

Pursuing a mouse, Frankie knocks over eight nail bins and scurries over the side-by-side beds of his nine “bosses” sleeping upstairs, some of whom wake up with startled expressions, as he chases the rodent out the cat door.

The spare text moves the story forward with energy and speed, but Taylor's artwork is the showstopper, creating a surreal environment for Frankie's nocturnal adventures.
