Izzy gets tripped over, stepped on and flattened, and the witches are worried for their safety in their old age. Arabelle offers to leave with Izzy, but Izzy won't have it. He finds a solution, using magic of course. Kids will be engaged by the humorous subject matter and beat as well as the interestingly drawn and colourful illustrations. Lesynski draws the interior of the retirement home from several perspectives.
Every object is full of paisleys, stripes, polka dots, stars and every other intricate design.
The colours are dizzying, making it easy for a cat to be mistaken as part of the furniture. The pictures are funny by themselves, as Izzy protects himself against being crushed by donning a spaghetti pot on his back and a colander on his head. Catmagic is a book for all seasons, not just Hallowe'en. It will make a great addition to any book collection. A great read-aloud.
