For cat fanciers of all ages. Great illustrations by Barry Moser.

cats are cute and cuddly and also independent, but they have alot to say. this book puts together poems of cats and what they are trying to say and how they talk. Its a great book and puts two great elements together, cats and poetry.
LibraryThing member SatinaJensen
A number of poems written as if the cats were speaking. Rhyming and simple illustrations.
LibraryThing member AlbertPascal
Here are some funny poems, written by cats, that show their personalities. They're great little poems for people who appreciate cats and their sense of humor.

These are good examples of verse and how poetry can express all kinds of ideas. Seeing these poems may inspire a child to try his hand at

A reader will learn how cats really feel about their humans and their lives. We get to see a cat's perspective of their lives. The illustrations in this book are very well done, compliment the text and make the poems that much more fun to read!

Thirteen poems about various cats from co-authors Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest are paired with watercolor paintings of said felines in this sweet picture-book. Each two-page spread features a different cat (and cat breed), from the loving Romeo to the motherly Bett.

The chief

appeal of this slight picture-book, for this reader, was Moser's delightful paintings, which really capture the feline charm of his subjects, in their various delightful poses. The poems themselves were pleasant but unremarkable, and I doubt I'll recall anything about them in a few hours' time. Recommended primarily to Barry Moser fans (in whose number I count myself), although young cat lovers may enjoy it as well.

Each page has a short poem about the cat featured, as told BY the cat featured. The illustrations are lovely, with just a slight touch of whimsy.

This lovely book is an ode to cats, those who have kittens, those who are strays who come in from the rain, those who are the boss and let their owner know they are in charge.

Then, there are cats that like to crawl under the covers at night, others who are beatiful with white fur. some ar born in
