Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
A respected photographer whose previous books include the bestsellers Asleep in the Sun and The Mediterranean Cat, Hans Silvester has captured the imaginations of readers worldwide with his unique and endearing photographs of the cats of the Greek Islands. He returns to this sun-drenched setting once again with Kittens in the Sun, focusing on the youngsters of the furry set:
Even as they begin to explore the world around them, the kittens grow rapidly into little cats. Clumsy at first, they begin to investigate their surroundings. Curious and playful, bursting with energy, they encourage one another to venture further and further away from home.
The breathtaking beauty of the islands serves as the ideal backdrop for these frolicking felines, whose daily to-dos--including pouncing, playing, and, of course, lounging--are expertly documented by Silvester's trained eye. And while they'll soon grow to be independent cats, this brief moment in their tender and all-too-cute lives will forever live in Kittens in the Sun.

Felines and sunshine—is there a match more sublime in the universe? Booklist
Enchanting kittens stretch out in a sunbeam and attack each other with playful energy, Kittens in the Sun is a collection of more than 200 photos from a photographer obviously in love and in touch with them. Kittens resting, playing, lazing on the ground and flying thorough the sky sprinkle the pages in enchanting full-color images that capture the essence of everything feline. The kittens detailed throughout the book are some of Greece's finest residents.

This review is from: Kittens in the Sun (Hardcover)
I recommend all of Hans Silvester's books of cat photography. You get lots of photos and relatively little text, so they are perfect for those of us who just want to look at interesting, artistic photos of cats. Plus you get a glimpse of life in the Greek islands, so you can pretend you are enriching your mind while you ooh and aah at the images of furry felines. And if you read the text, you actually will learn about the cats and the people who share the islands with them.
