Offering a different perspective of dreams and nightmares, this story follows the escapades of a cat that walks off of the printed fabric of a young child's pillow as he drifts off to sleep while his mother reads him a bedtime story. The cat jumps onto the mother's polka dotted skirt and bounces one of the polka dots off of it before it rolls onto the printed bedspread. As the cat peers around searching for the ball, it detects an image in the pattern's negative space and is frightened by it. The cat runs away, and the child appears with his pillow and climbs into bed next to his mom. The rest of the cats on the pillow pattern scare the bedspread monster and everyone falls asleep.
The White Ravens 2014 catalog honors this book for the creator's "poetic images [which] reveal the magic of perception and the world of objects that live their own secret lives."
