Out of the Wild Night by Blue Balliett (review)

Vincent the orange cat loves his life on a cargo ship. He’s been all over the world, he has all the fresh fish he can eat, and he chases seagulls all day. When he hears the crew talking about how glad they are to go home, he wonders, “Where is this Home place?” The curious cat follows one of the crew when they dock and sees him enthusiastically welcomed by his family. “Home is where the people who love you are. I guess I don’t have a Home,” he concludes as he wanders about the city, until he hears a familiar sound—the captain’s whistling—and realizes he’s had a home all along. Vincent’s world is rendered in soft watercolor and ink landscapes that evoke the vastness of sea and sky, the confines of the ship’s interiors, and the busy boundedness of the city. Kids will love poring over the illustrations and spotting details, such as a tiny Vincent peering over the edge of the ship’s prow. The simple narration ranges from one or two lines in the early pages to longer blocks of text when Vincent ventures ashore in the second half, making for a confidencebuilding challenge for new readers. Vincent will especially appeal to kids as they gain independence while still seeking the security of home. SS
