5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GIFT!, December 16, 2002

By	Estelle (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

As a writer and former teacher, I found "Feline Online" to be the purr-fect book for both children and adults. The chuckles as zany cat Tarzan surfs the Internet will keep even a reluctant reader turning pages.

I select carefully for a book that is well written, with the fervent wish that my choice will turn the recipient into an avid reader. "Feline Online" is my current pick. I now have six wrapped books for birthday and holiday presents. Thank you, Elyse Cregar, for making my shopping such a joy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!, December 17, 2001

A Kid's Review

What happens when you leave your pets home alone for a few days? Well, this book would give you an A+ answer. When Tarzan, a cat who is too smart for his own good, surfs the internet and his feline friend Foo Foo, who is a cat that all he does and think all day is slepp and eat food, helps a lot of things happen. Foo Foo helps Tarzan find a bird on the internet and uses their owner's credit card while she is away. But when the bird of Tarzan's dreams turns out to be the bird of Tarzan's nightmare, the two cats wish that this never happened in the first place. To find out the conclusion to this wonderful plot, you must read Feline Online, by Elyse Cregar.
Feline Online as a book that I throughly enjoyed. With Tarzan and Foo Foo getting into trouble all of the time, this book keeps you hanging by a thread in suspense. I thought that Ms. Cregar did a wonderful job writing this book. It was a well-written book that was really thought out and planned. Usually you don't know what is going to happen next, but it is always a surprise when you find out. Elyse Cregar really made me feel as though I was being put into the story and experiancing it first-hand. Now I know that although my cat seems really stupid, he is really smart, but he just might not act like it. I hope that there is a sequel to this book to find out what happens next to Tarzan and Foo Foo. Two thumbs up!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Feline Online, December 17, 2001

By	JL (Swampscott, MA USA) - See all my reviews

When I read Feline Online, different opinions came to mind. At the beginning of the book it was a little boring because it was introducing the characters. It started to get more interesting in chapter six, Tarzan of the Internet. This was the first time I have ever heard of a cat using the Internet. The most exciting part of the book was the ending. This was when Amanda found out about Tarzan's power. Overall, I think this book was great. If Elyse Cregar wrote a sequel to Feline Online, I would be one of the first people to read it.
