5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely funny book, June 18, 2000

AmeliaAT "Amelia" (Pennsylvania, Endless Mountains) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Cat's Not Fat, He's Just Big-Boned (Paperback)

Anyone who enjoys Nicole Hollander's sly and amusing view of the world will like this book; anyone with a particular fondness for cats probably will, too. If you have ever tried to imagine your cat's motives for doing the things they do, you will enjoy Sylvia's cats, whose motives are hilarious. Many of the jokes are probably above the heads of children, but even they will enjoy the antics the cats get up to.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's as great -- and even better -- than her previous books, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: My Cat's Not Fat, He's Just Big-Boned (Paperback)

I bought this book from Amazon.com about two months ago and, as an admitted cat lover, am still loving this book dedicated to cats (and a small section to dogs). It's on my desk to my right and whenever I need a laugh, I just open up to any one of the pages. Thanks, Nicole!
