"When all of the
numbers disappear, a crack feline detective is hired to find the thief and
restore order to the town. Without numbers, nothing can be done—no phone
calls can be made, no games can be played, no birthdays can be celebrated.
Teeming with action and details, this book features large-scale, digitally
rendered
illustrations."

"Teeming with action
and details, the large-scale, digitally painted illustrations feature zany,
dressed-animal characters. While the scenes are busy with action and detail,
they offers bits of comic byplay that will keep children engaged in the story,
which is told in rhymed couplets. From the author/illustrator of Subtraction
Action (2000) and It’s Probably Penny (2007), here’s another
colorful picture book with ties to the math
curriculum."
