Description
Winner of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award!
A fabulously fun rhyming picture book about what the David Bowie and Queen B of musical-loving cats do at night.
Superstar DJ Sam Francisco and his feline friends are throwing the best party in town. Unfortunately the music is keeping his grumpy neighbor Buzzkill Bill awake. Bill tries everything to shut it down—he sends dogs, then pest control, the fire department, and the police!
But with Sam’s talent for playing the right song at the right time, all of them end up joining the party. When Buzzkill Bill takes matters into his own hands will he finally get his way? Find out what really happens when your cat stays out all night!
Written in rhyming verse, this joyful celebration of dance, music, and self-expression begs to be read aloud over and over. Young readers and adults alike will delight in spotting musical genres and nods to musical stars past and present.
Sarah Tagholm and Binny Talib’s humor, charm, and energy will win over all readers—even Buzzkill Bills!

One of my favorite things to do is read to my kiddos when we are stuck somewhere like a doctors waiting room. My kids enjoyed this one! The rhyming is fantastic and we love all the music. The pictures are amazing- absolutely incredible illustrations, the costumes festive, and cats… we love cats!
I was a little taken aback when my 5 year old asked about why the cat was sneaking out the window and if people do that? And then was a little concerned at the messaging that when you are disturbing the neighborhood in the middle of the night, you just make it louder because it’s just the cranky man’s problem… the messaging there seemed off.
Thank you to Annick Press and Netgalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
