Reviews

"High marks for child appeal. ..."
     —Kirkus Reviews

"A playful, extended ode to feline friends."
     —Publishers Weekly

"With loving exasperation and bewilderment, these playful poems muse about why cats do what they do. The cheerful, mostly rhymed couplets describe scenes that kids who know cats will immediately recognize. ...Petrosino's lively, cartoon-style, and pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations match the buoyant, affectionate tone of the poems."
     —Booklist

"Crawley utilizes line-ending rhyme schemes in the poems, and the familiar pattern will engage beginning or reluctant readers, while the humor and wit will appeal to the school-age crowd."
     —School Library Journal

"A delightful read for cat lovers of all ages!"
     —The Reading Teacher
