Cat lovers - you need this book!!, March 3, 1997
Reviewer: A reader
As a dyed in the wool cat lover AND a children's librarian I knew that I
needed this book even before I actually saw it. I have not been
disappointed. Cats are wonderful, complex creatures and these children's
book illustrators have provided a delightfully wide range of viewpoints.
From the cat who during WWII miraculously brought home a steak to its owner,
to the mama cat who had her kittens in the closet among dad's shoes (kittens
were appropriately named Etonic, Reebok, Nike, Converse, and Adidas), to
Tuxedo the cat who had his own birthday party (the guests were a beagle, a
kitten, a rabbit, a goldfish, and a parakeet!), this book is chock full of
wonderful anecdotes of cats loved and remembered and terrific illustrations
to accompany them. The fact that each illustrator has a different voice and
artistic style only serves to make the book even more enjoyable. Note also
the bonus that the fees, royalties and part of the profits from the book go
to help animals in need.
