5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favorite, December 26, 2008

By	Cathe Olson "natural foods cookbook author" (In the kitchen) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

My 7-year-old daughter got this from the library and after repeated renewals with no sign of waning interest, I bought it for her for Christmas. The poems are just hilarious and really capture the essence of cats--perfect for my cat-crazy daughter. My daughter also loves the CD where the poems are put to music. She sings them all day long. This is definitely an author that knows cats and knows what kids like. I recommend this for the cat-loving kids in your life.

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

By	jimshunbun (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to poetry - some poems on the 'darker' side, June 6, 2009

By	J. White "janinenc" (OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

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).
