Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
As depicted in Le Cain's rollicking paintings, a gaggle of farcical felines (and a few pesky pekes) highlights this collection by the distinguished poet. Ages 3-up.

Poems and Pictures,
This review is from: Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poems (Paperback)
This book contains three of Elliot's Poems. Growltiger's Last Stand tells the story of the fate of an ornery cat at the hands, er, paws, of Persian and Siamese cats he disdained. It is an amusing tale, although when read today it doesn't always come across as exactly politically correct! The other two poems talk of the feud between the Pekes and the Pollicles, and describe Jellicle cats. All three poems are entertaining and are illustrated with silly pictures that well-suit the tone of the poems. I believe that the book is better suited to slightly older children than the 4 -8 year-old reading level mentioned above.

This review is from: Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poems (Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of Errol Le Cain. His illustrations in this book are superb. The poems by Eliot are catchy and fun to read aloud. I had hoped Mr. Mestofelees would be in here, but it is still awesome as is.

Wonderful Book,
This review is from: Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poems (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the Library last year. The story is magnificent. The best part of the book though are the illustrastions. If you enjoy the play Cats and ohter T.S. Eliot poems, i highly suggest this book.
