John Parker: Poppa McPhee and the Cat up a Tree

Poor old Poppa McPhee: this spunky grandpa has all the right intentions, but despite his many cunning plans he can't get his cat out of the tree. The story buzzes along in catchy verse, and the illustrations are an intriguing demonstration of what you can do on Photoshop: create a completely new sense of reality that is brighter yet less dimensional than our everyday one.
