Synopsis
"The Cat and the Fiddle" for a new generation, by bestselling author Barbara Joosse
Old Robert has everything he needs. Nothing more, nothing less. Each and every day, he sails the sea, alone. And each and every night, he docks his boat and prepares his dinner, alone. Until one evening when he gets a very strange visitor: a dancing cat. There's no room in Old Robert's shipshape boat for a cat. But much to his surprise, he finds himself smiling a bit, and inviting the cat in for dinner. The following night another cat arrives, this one juggling. And once again, Old Robert surprisingly finds himself inviting the cat in to his home. Before long, Old Robert has a boatful of cats, singing and dancing and juggling. He still has everything he needs, but now he has so much more.
Barbara Joosse and Jan Jutte have teamed up again to deliver a story that will dance its way into readers' hearts.

From Booklist
In their latest collaboration, Joosse and Jutte (Roawr!, 2009, and Sleepover at Gramma’s House, 2010) hoist a sail tale about a shipshape man who has everything he needs—or so he thinks. Each day the old man sails the salty sea, and each night he docks his boat, until one evening when an unexpected visitor arrives: a dancing cat in a pale pink dress who asks to come aboard. Old Robert agrees and prepares toast in buttered milk for two, and they both go to bed with the cat sleeping in a wee hammock. The next night a singing cat appears, and the next night a juggling cat. But it’s a scrawny little black cat with no talents at all that steals Old Robert’s heart and winds up going to sleep on his chest. The ink, watercolor, and acrylic illustrations have comic overtones with strong black lines delineating the waterside scenes. This tender story proves there is always room in the heart for one more. Bonus: the back flap supplies a website to download Joosse’s song, “Old Robert.” Preschool-Grade 2. --Julie Cummins
