5.0 out of 5 stars Just as Good September 11, 2009

I was a little afraid Simon's Cat would be lacking because you can't hear his little mews, but it's just as funny if not more! Tofield does a great job with little "mini-strips," and stories that every cat owner can appreciate. There is a ton of variety, and it's ALL illustrated brilliantly! Absolutely hilarious!

I love the antics of Simon's Cat. His expressions are absolutely priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant! September 23, 2009

I have been enchanted by Simon's Cat on YouTube for 2 years now. I wasn't sure how this would come across in book format but it is brilliant! It maintains the same tone with its wordless cartoons - and every picture defintely tells a story. I am owned by several cats and Simon definitely understands feline behavior and portrays it indescribably well.

I have several cat lovers on my Christmas list who will be getting copies of this wonderful book. I look forward to more from this creative genius!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and funny.... I wish the kitty was real... September 22, 2009

By Winston

Format:Paperback

Simon's Cat book is probably the most brilliant of the kitty books in market. Funny, creative and real. Sometimes I think this cat is real. Of course, his antics can hurt Simon when he is asleep or watching tv but he is so adorable you're able to forgive him. What has struck me most is that how Simon's graphics teach us to treat animals humanely and with special care. I am one of the fans and it is an excellent book. Loved it. Plus this book makes a great gift.
