Cat lovers - you need this book!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Purr: Children's Book Illustrators Brag About Their Cats (Library Binding)
As a dyed in the wool cat lover AND a children's librarian I knew that I needed this book even before I actually saw it. I have not been disappointed. Cats are wonderful, complex creatures and these children's book illustrators have provided a delightfully wide range of viewpoints. From the cat who during WWII miraculously brought home a steak to its owner, to the mama cat who had her kittens in the closet among dad's shoes (kittens were appropriately named Etonic, Reebok, Nike, Converse, and Adidas), to Tuxedo the cat who had his own birthday party (the guests were a beagle, a kitten, a rabbit, a goldfish, and a parakeet!), this book is chock full of wonderful anecdotes of cats loved and remembered and terrific illustrations to accompany them. The fact that each illustrator has a different voice and artistic style only serves to make the book even more enjoyable. Note also the bonus that the fees, royalties and part of the profits from the book go to help animals in need. (Additional side note: If you're into dogs, check out the companion volume, Speak also edited by Mr. Rosen.
