"Simple but clever verse and striking imagery give the book a refined aesthetic."—Publishers Weekly

Fat cats, brat cats, cats with scowls, and cats with jowls. . . . I Like Cats emerges from the brushstrokes of the best-known tribal and folk artists spanning across various traditions of India. Silk-screen-printed by hand, this is a book for art, cat, and artsy cat lovers!

International award-winning author Anushka Ravishankar writes another charming nonsense verse tale, this time about cats, perfect for all ages.

An Exquisite Book

By Deana on December 13, 2011

Format: Hardcover

This is an absolutely beautiful book, and one of my 22 month-old son's favourites. Rather than frightening children, as another review implied, this contains images that spur their imaginations. The book contains very simple prose describing different 'types' of cats - 'sunny' cats, greedy cats, cats with jowls, etc., and the images that accompany the text are by tribal artists from different parts of India. We live in India and have a lot of Indian books but this is one of my favourite - along with just about anything published by Tara Press.

Expansive and precious

By eugenie on December 20, 2011

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

I'm in like mind with Deana from India. I'm a born and bred American who grew up with the standard disney fare but i'm lucky my parents were quite broad in the additional books and art they exposed us to. I think there are some parents who will not appreciate what this book has to offer but I think it's amazing and rare to get something so carefully edited and constructed that can expose our kids to a very different way of looking at cats!
There is a plethora of cheaply-made kids books that portray animals in a mundane, commercialized, cartoonish manner that limits our kids imagination. this book is expansive rather than constricting or scary for that matter. My daughter is going through her toddler "scared" phase and she loves this book. As an adult with many graphic designer friends, I am simply excited to find a book made this way - decisive, and so well-crafted. I've already bought a second to give as a gift!

Gorgeous book for all ages

By selbyandgriggs on March 13, 2013

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This book is beautiful in every way -- the selections of papers, craftsmanship in the binding, and of course, the beautiful illustrations. My 1 year old daughter loves this book, and so do I. Even though the cats are not always represented in a way that makes them obviously cats, she always knows they are cats and says "kitty!" even at the most abstract interpretations of the feline.

Beautiful art book

By Debnance at Readerbuzz on December 20, 2011

Format: Hardcover

The author uses simple text to explain the traditional paintings and drawings of cats included to illustrate this book. I'd like to know more about the traditional paintings and drawings than the brief line about the origin of each listed in the back of the book.

Here's a sample:
"Worried cats

S l o w cats

Hurried cats

Thin cats"

delightful illustrations

By misskris on November 9, 2012

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

The book is very short but the illustrations, which reflect a range of artists and regional Indian artistic customs, are charming. I appreciated the information about the artists and styles that is provided in the back of the book. A great choice for children and adults who appreciate cats and art.
