Editorial Reviews

Review

“The felines’ eloquent narratives, divided into short chapters, offer charming droll descriptions of cats’ trials and tribulations, and humorous commentary on human behavior. . . . A fast, fun read.”–Booklist
“Newly fledged chapter-book readers will gloat along with the funny, furry narrators. . . . [Ross’s] comic ink drawings perfectly capture the cats’ sense of weary superiority.”
–Kirkus Reviews
