Brian Lies's visual delight Cat Nap is a feline-fueled romp through 10 masterpieces of art history, all lovingly re-created by hand. The story opens in a late-afternoon living room where a sleepy gray kitten stirs. When a mouse darts by, Kitten leaps after it into a Metropolitan Museum of Art poster, and the chase begins--through time, culture, and media. Caldecott Honor winner Lies (Little Bat in Night School) sends Kitten on a chase through artworks from diverse cultures and eras: an ancient Egyptian limestone carving, a 14th-century illuminated manuscript, a Japanese ink drawing, and more. In each piece, the chase adapts to the aesthetic, subject matter, and mood of the work and Lies's palette shifts to match the original works. The 3D nature of the illustrations, crafted from materials like clay, paper, and glass, gives many pages a tactile, museum-like feel. But this isn't just an artistic showcase--Lies brings readers a heartfelt adventure with lyrical text, handcrafted visuals, and an imagination-provoking journey through global artistic traditions. --Julie Danielson
