And when Bootsy dances, Jeff sees a ballerina — the best ballerina in the world! Jeff’s big sister, Ginny, disagrees. \"Bootsy is just a regular cat,\" she insists. But Ginny and Jeff can agree on one thing: Bootsy is the best cat in the world! Valeri Gorbachev’s charming illustrations capture the central role that a beloved pet plays in the life of a child.\"Ukrainian-born author\/illustrator Gorbachev’s watercolors, infused with a warm yellow cast, give this tale of feline adoration a slightly retro feel. The realistic gainsaying relationship between siblings Ginny and Jeff is a great counterpoint to the absurd imaginings of Bootsy accepting flowers in a tutu and pulling in the nets in a yellow rain slicker.\" —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eValeri Gorbachev\u003c\/b\u003e has illustrated numerous books for children, including \u003ci\u003eAll for Pie, Pie for All \u003c\/i\u003eby David Martin and \u003ci\u003eSquirrel’s World \u003c\/i\u003eby Lisa Moser.
