5.0 out of 5 stars why is it out of print?, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Comic And Curious Cats (Hardcover)

How can such a fanatastic, gorgeous book be out of print? Both pictures and words comspire together in their simplicity to creep up on you and take you unawares. What has happened?

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful cats, April 2, 2005

I was given this book many years ago, but have discovered it anew since we started reading it to our toddler son. The story is really too complicated for him, but he is entranced by the beautiful cats. Their eyes, in particular, are mesmerising. We revel in the clever rhymes (how often does "verisimultide" appear in verse I wonder?) and can imagine this book becoming a family favourite. What a pity that it's out of print!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!, October 31, 1999

Any cat lover will treasure this book. It's a combination of beautiful cat illustrations (which are really almost portraits) and tongue-in-cheek poetry that captures the nuances of personality with which all cat owners are familiar. My fiancee and I have had fun writing Leman-esque poetry about our own cats, inspired, of course, by this book.
