Clint is a classic book that I recommend for children of all ages. It is a terrific gift giving idea that makes a beautiful presentation. My favorite parts of the Clint book are the illustrations that the children drew. My little friends think that is fabulous. Clint also offers an interactive page that allow your child to draw his version of Clint. It is a definite 5 Star book.

This is a book that is fun for everyone, not just children. The book is cleverly written as a poem. As a cat lover with no children, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I also enjoyed the illustrations that were created by the children. Being able to see life expressed through the eyes (and crayons) of children is a special treat. And, although I don't have any children of my own, I try to always hold onto that childlike fascination of life. Books like "Clint the Black Cat" help me do that.

I also appreciate that the author is willing to donate book profits toward benefiting education. At a time when the entire education program is in so much need of funding, it is a relief to find someone who is willing to donate their creativity, time and money towards helping education. Considering that the arts programs are the first to be dropped when funding is tight, it is an area that is especially in need of funding.

I recommend this book for you, for every child you know, for every cat-lover you know, and for every teacher you know. And in giving this gift, you will be gifting the entire education program.

Children, parents, teachers, and artists alike will all love Clint the Black Cat! CHILDREN: Because Clint speaks at their level and the big, bright illustrations of Clin't adventures were drawn by other kids just like them! Clint is an inspiration to the artist who lives in every child! PARENTS: Because this kitty is honest and clever and fun to read about with their children - the text reads like a fun poem. TEACHERS: Because this story was ultimately conceived with their jobs in mind! It's hard to teach in public schools with limited budgets - this book stands out as a testimony to the need for improved funding in our schools. ARTISTS: Because this book addresses the importance of art in our communities - for children and grown-ups alike! Art starts early... let's encourage our children to express themselves through the arts! CONCLUSION: How couldn't YOU love it too?

This book is a favorite of mine and my 2 year-old daughter. It is perfect to read aloud due to the effortless rhyming in the story. The book is illustrated by children which makes each page interesting and different from the next. There is a page in the back for your child to draw their own illustration, so they too can become part of the book. I also really like that this book has a mission, and that is to make art an important part of a child's education.

Clint the Black Cat is surely a true book. He does prowl the neighbors yards. Especially mine. I myself and my children love to watch him prowl around our woods. From the neighbor of the Lady that Loves Clint the Black Cat!!!

Clint the Black Cat is a fantastically, clever written and illustrated book. I love the concept of using children to draw pictures of the main character, Clint. I could not wait to turn to the next page to see what Clint was going to do next and how the children would depict his actions. Another clever concept in the book is giving the children a blank page so they can draw their own picture of Clint.

Also I think that the author made a very unselfish decision to allow profits from the book sales to go back to the school that the children who drew the pictures go to. Every child should be able to express themselves in art and music. Unfortunately, many school systems cut the budgets for arts programs and other extracurricular activities.

Clint is a wonderful character. Wouldn't it be great if we could know what our family pets think and what they think of us? I think Clint the Black Cat allows a young child to imagine all kinds of escapades that a cat can get into.

I believe that Clint the Black Cat will become a children's classic.

This book is fantastic. The text is a poem and the rhyming words flow easily ... a fun captivating story about a real cat. But the real story is the illustrations. They were done by students at one elementary school in Nashville, TN. The crayon drawings were done by kindergartners thru 4th graders. I really liked this book. The story was fun, the illustrations fantastic and ,WOW. a portion of the proceeds go back to that elementary school to fund their creative arts program. This book is good reading for elemaentary age kids and fun reading for any age. ... signed .. an elementary art teacher
