Mrs. Lovewright is a chilly person, and she knows exactly what she needs to warm up. "There's no being cozy without a cat," she says. So she adopts an adorable kitten she names Purrly. But she soon finds herself in a battle of wills with a cat who has no intention of being cozy. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat can guess who will emerge victorious.
Called "wonderfully idiosyncratic" by Washington Post Book World, this tale by acclaimed author Lore Segal and Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky is back in print to delight a new generation of readers.

Review:

"If fresh, imaginative writing and brilliantly animated pictures, all wonderfully syncopated, are the essence of an original picture book, then Mrs. Lovewright and Purrless Her Cat is indeed a dazzling example."
-- Maurice Sendak

"Segal's telling is lyrical, remarkable; Zelinsky's illustrations are masterpieces of comic emotion."
--New York Daily News

"A brief, enchanting, alarming, and funny-profound children's book. Children in very large numbers will take to wonderful Purrless."
--New York Times Book Review

"Wonderfully idiosyncratic."
--Washington Post Book World

"Splendid...surprising...wistfully comic."
--Publishers Weekly
