I like cats!" declares the narrator of this rollicking paean to cats of every conceivable description: "Thin cats, fat cats, curl-up-in-my-lap cats ... Farm cats, city cats, sing-a-little-ditty cats . . . Fluffy cats, sleek cats, kiss-me-on-the-cheek cats ... Prowling cats, howling cats, wake-me-with-their-yowling cats. " This comic, charming cattery, chockfull of fabulous felines, is purrfect for cat lovers of all ages.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
PreS. A gallery of feline faces peers out from the title page of this rowdy celebration of cats. There's no story. The words are a simple, bouncy rhyme that begins with the book's title and rolls through descriptions of cats in scenes both familiar (eyeing a fish on the dinner table, napping in a sink) and wildly imagined (adventuring in argyle socks, parading in a convertible). There's so much to look at in the vibrant, activity-filled paintings that even preschoolers with no particular love of cats will find themselves smitten by the expressive, whiskered faces leaping through the busy spreads. Not a necessary purchase, but the charming paintings and rhythmic words offer plenty of fun. Gillian Engberg

A GREAT ONE FOR THE LITTLE ONES AND CAT LOVERS IN GENERAL,
This review is from: I Like Cats (Hardcover)
The author and artist of this work must indeed like cats as there are hundreds(?) of drawings of these fury little creatures in this work. This is certainly a book that I would add to my young child's library as the pictures are endless, and surprisingly all different. The colors are great and the artist, Pamela Paparone, has done a wonderful job with her subject. You can read this book with your child over and over again, and each time, both you, and your child, will see something new with each reading. The text goes well with the art. The colors are quite eye catching as the entire layout of the book. Recommend this one quite highly.

Fabulous!,
This review is from: I Like Cats (Hardcover)
Like Kimberly above, we got this from the library and bought it - had to order it especially in NZ. Completely gorgeous. My 18 month old adored it - along with "That's the way I love you" another very lovely book. I think this will be read for many years to come.

Cover doesn't do it justice - it's GREAT!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Like Cats (Hardcover)
You'd never know by the cover that the illustrations insidde are super cute (not that the cover is aweful, but different than the stuff inside). AND - it rhymes! My 2 year old helps finish the sentances when I read it to her. We love it!
