5.0 out of 5 stars The next Eloise!!!!, May 20, 2001

By A Customer

Clint is a classic book that I recommend for children of all ages. It is a terrific gift giving idea that makes a beautiful presentation. My favorite parts of the Clint book are the illustrations that the children drew. My little friends think that is fabulous. Clint also offers an interactive page that allow your child to draw his version of Clint. It is a definite 5 Star book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all ages, January 31, 2001

By A Customer

This is a book that is fun for everyone, not just children. The book is cleverly written as a poem. As a cat lover with no children, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I also enjoyed the illustrations that were created by the children. Being able to see life expressed through the eyes (and crayons) of children is a special treat. And, although I don't have any children of my own, I try to always hold onto that childlike fascination of life. Books like "Clint the Black Cat" help me do that.

I also appreciate that the author is willing to donate book profits toward benefiting education. At a time when the entire education program is in so much need of funding, it is a relief to find someone who is willing to donate their creativity, time and money towards helping education. Considering that the arts programs are the first to be dropped when funding is tight, it is an area that is especially in need of funding.

I recommend this book for you, for every child you know, for every cat-lover you know, and for every teacher you know. And in giving this gift, you will be gifting the entire education program.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYONE will Love Clint the Black Cat!!, December 13, 2000

By	"abstubblefield" (Florida) - See all my reviews

Children, parents, teachers, and artists alike will all love Clint the Black Cat! CHILDREN: Because Clint speaks at their level and the big, bright illustrations of Clin't adventures were drawn by other kids just like them! Clint is an inspiration to the artist who lives in every child! PARENTS: Because this kitty is honest and clever and fun to read about with their children - the text reads like a fun poem. TEACHERS: Because this story was ultimately conceived with their jobs in mind! It's hard to teach in public schools with limited budgets - this book stands out as a testimony to the need for improved funding in our schools. ARTISTS: Because this book addresses the importance of art in our communities - for children and grown-ups alike! Art starts early... let's encourage our children to express themselves through the arts! CONCLUSION: How couldn't YOU love it too?
