An orange-gold cat with green eyes named Marigold explores a house and playfully interacts with her owner until, distracted, the little girl steps on Marigold's tail, turning her meow into a me-OW! . . . [An] almost wordless picture book-although the handful of wordplay that is included is clever . . . The cat is so unmistakably catlike in its behavior and attitude that cat owners will find a few additional chuckles between the pages. -- <em>Booklist</em>

“An orange-gold cat with green eyes named Marigold explores a house and playfully interacts with her owner until, distracted, the little girl steps on Marigold’s tail, turning her “meow” into a “me-OW!” . . . [An] almost wordless picture book—although the handful of wordplay that is included is clever . . . The cat is so unmistakably catlike in its behavior and attitude that cat owners will find a few additional chuckles between the pages.” — Booklist “Raschka chronicles a search for intimacy from a cat’s point of view. . . . The delicate balancing act between loving, wanting to be loved, and yearning for independence resolves in a tender rom-com ending between child and cat.” — Publishers Weekly “There are many ways to say ‘­Hello,’ and ‘Meow’ is one of them, but then, ‘Meow’ has many meanings. . . . . Raschka arranges the action in graphic novel sequences with moment-to-moment panels and spreads that create smooth transitions between the poignant scenes. . . . Expressive and engaging, this picture book is the cat’s meow. A warm portrayal of kids and furry friends that introduces young children to phonics, emotions, and active listening.” — School Library Journal
