4.0 out of 5 stars Cat Power but Dogs Rule, October 26, 2007

By

This review is from: Cat Power (Hardcover)

We REALLY are cat people in this house that we share with 3 felines! After wearing out our CD of Daniel Kirk's Dogs Rule and loving it so, we eagerly awaited his ode to kitties. I have to say, we were disappointed. The poems/lyrics aren't as clever or catchy as "Dogs". Maybe it will grow on us? If you haven't heard/read Dogs Rule, it's awesome- try it! Cat Power just isn't as good, but there's something about Kirk's singing voice that's great no matter what he's singing.

My daughters love to read this book. It is full of poems about cats. It has a CD too but we rarely listen to it. A few of the poems though are a bit on the depressing side so I recommend pre-reading if you don't want your kids being read anything sad. That said, the girls aren't affected adversely by it when those poems are read to them.

(They are 5 and 2 for those needing an age reference).

This is the greatest book and CD for the young reader for reading and listening on his/her own or sharing with their favorite adult, reading together. My grandson discovered this author while using the library and loved it so much I bought him his own copy. The poems are cute, the music is catchy and the artwork of cats is adorable!!
