Reviews

PreS. A gallery of feline faces peers out from the title page of this rowdy celebration of cats. There's no story. The words are a simple, bouncy rhyme that begins with the book's title and rolls through descriptions of cats in scenes both familiar (eyeing a fish on the dinner table, napping in a sink) and wildly imagined (adventuring in argyle socks, parading in a convertible). There's so much to look at in the vibrant, activity-filled paintings that even preschoolers with no particular love of cats will find themselves smitten by the expressive, whiskered faces leaping through the busy spreads. Not a necessary purchase, but the charming paintings and rhythmic words offer plenty of fun. Gillian Engberg
