Hyam the cat who talked too much [Paperback]

Pamela Douglas (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 18, 2008

This is the tale of Hyam, a cat famous for talking himself out of a part at an audition for a West End production - for he is an actor. He tells his own story in a series of delightfully readable poems, taking us on his travels through the ups and downs of theatre life and his many escapades as a sophisticated actor, a country puss and a family pet. Blessed with a sense of humour and an abounding love of people, Hyam is, indeed, a most unusual cat.

This review is from: Hyam the cat who talked too much (Paperback)

Quoting from the back cover:

"This is the tale of Hyam, a cat famous for talking himself out of a part at an audition for a West End Production - for he is an actor. He tells his own story in a series of delightfully readable poems, taking us on his travels through the ups and down of theatre life and his many escapades as a sophisticated actor, a country puss and a family pet. Blessed with a sense of humour and an abounding love of people, Hyam is, indeed, a most unusual cat."

Pamela Douglas has written this wonderful little book which I'm certain will delight children of all ages and cat lovers in particular. Her poems rhyme like a cat in a hat, and one soon comes to know and love Hyam. The books is well written, edited and illustrated. The cover is colorful and attractive.
