5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent read-aloud
By H. Johnson on December 27, 2006
Format: Hardcover
Despite the fact that one of my two kids can read by herself, they still love to listen to bedtime stories. Mr. Pusskins: A Love Story makes for an excellent read-aloud. The pictures are large and comical, and the story itself offers many opportunities for fun voices. It teaches a subtle lesson about appreciating what we have, but it's never preachy and always fun.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful, absolutely wonderful.
By jen on May 5, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
You can't help but fall in love with Mr. Pusskins. It's a lesson in love, and delivered with such humour as we watch him barely tolerating all the love and affection gleefully bestowed upon him by his owner Emily, who is a little girl. Mr. P is rather curmudgeonly and he sets out on his own. After initially enjoying his freedom, he finds that he didn't appreciate Emily, that life isn't very pleasant without her, and how lucky he had been to have her. Did Emily miss him? Would he find her? Would she take him back??? The suspenseful ending made me laugh and cry at the same time.

The drawings are wonderful. Mr. Pusskins' expression, as you can tell by the cover, is perfectly drawn.

As they said on NPR, it's a classic "cat loses girl, cat gets girl" story.

5.0 out of 5 starsCurrently my kids' favorite!
By David on June 10, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A well crafted children's story. Not overly wordy. My 3 year old twins seem to grasp it pretty well. My daughter likes to point out when Mr. Pusskins is sorry. And, both kids can "read" it to themselves, having memorized the content. Next week it will be onto another favorite, but this is definitely the pick of the week.

5.0 out of 5 starsMr. Pusskins is a cat for ALL ages
By Allison Brooks on September 26, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I saw this book on display about a year ago at a bookstore. I was so glad to find it again! I'm a 41-year-old woman, and I was instantly smitten with the crotchety Mr. Pusskins. His "portrait" on the front of the book reminds me of when I haven't had coffee. I see there's a second Mr. Pusskins book -- I simply must have it! With Christmas coming up, this would make a fabulous gift to anyone with a sense of humor, no matter what their age.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for Little Readers
By Talvi TOP 100 REVIEWER on November 21, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Our family absolutely loves this book. It has all the fun elements that make it easy to read but also a joy to act out and emote. It has definitely been our favorite of all the children's books we have read. I can't recommend it enough for story time and bedtime reading. No heavy lectures, no overbearing storylines, just a fun little tale of a mean little kitty who learns to appreciate what he has.

5.0 out of 5 starsindeed a love story
By Li Bai on January 16, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
we first read it in a library, we ended up went back to borrow it since the next few days after that my daughter talked about it a lot. we bought one later. it tells not only the personality of cat, also it tells the children to appreciate the love from family and friends, even it could be too much or "unwanted" sometime:). Love sometime is not appreciated enough unless it is lost, but do not worry, it can be regained.

By Page Turner on January 22, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The seller promptly sent the book in good, gently used condition. My kids LOVE it! My three year old wants it read over and over again. We have loved all the Mr. Pusskins books, and his antics and attitude did not disappoint in this story.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Read-A-Loud with a Message! - a review of Mr. Pusskins
By The Invisible Pam TOP 500 REVIEWER on September 13, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I had to pick up "Mr. Pusskins". Once I saw his crabby cat countenance on the cover, I would have picked his book, even if I didn't have kids as an excuse. He is just too delightful for words.

Now, having read the book more than a few times, I'm here to recommend it you as a very nice book for children between Toddler and 8 years of age. The reason being, not only the sweet, colorful artwork, but the wonderful message that Sam Lloyd has woven into this tale.

The story is about Mr. Pusskins and the girl that absolutely adores him. She shares all her best things with him, but does Mr. Pusskins appreciate the brushing and story-telling? NO he does not. And so one day he decides to 'go and have some fun'.

Well at the end of the book, Mr. P~ learns a thing or two about life and love. And I think children will get the message. And all of us will be reminded that sometimes we take things for granted, when we shouldn't.

Talking Points:::
Bright, sweet, fun artwork!
Great message and delivery.
Good read-aloud for the Toddler to 8 year-old range
