Ryosuke Handa, Yoneo Morita and Tracy Johnson

The Kittens of Boxville answers the vexing, age-old question: what would a city constructed by cats look like? Biteable cardboard, of course! Originally published in Japan, this quirky and adorable book features more than a hundred photographs of an energetic group of kittens romping around dozens of miniature cardboard houses, cafes, and restaurants. Here, a daring cat explores an abandoned farmhouse; there, a lonely kitten knocks on a friend's window; and what's that over there? Two kittens hugging!? Appropriately, the book features a diecut cover that reveals an irresistibly cute little kitten peeking through the front (his tail pokes through the back).

Ryosuke Handa is a Tokyo-based writer and illustrator.

Yoneo Morita is an author and pet photographer in Tokyo.

Tracy Sunrize Johnson is a writer and cat lover. She and her cats, Rob and Shimmy, live in San Francisco.
