About the Author
Eileen Spinelli's love of books began at age five,during her first visit to the local public library. ?Iclimbed up the steps to the children's room on the secondfloor and into a wonderland! Books everywhere . . . Ididn't know which book to grab first,? she explains. ?Itmade no difference to me that I couldn't read.? After that,young Eileen visited the library every Saturday with hermother. After a few years of library visits, she knew shewanted to become a writer.
Geraldo Valério was born in Brazil and has created art for many children's books, including The Hungry Ghosts by Julius Lester (Penguin). He has collaborated with Eileen Spinelli on When You Are Happy and Do You Have a Hat? (bot
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2–In a style and format very much like their Do You Have a Hat? (S & S, 2004), Spinelli and Valério bring famous figures and their beloved felines to life through rhyming text and colorful acrylic paintings. Endpapers provide a brief biography of the subjects, while the spare rhyming words of the interior pages are cleverly woven together to provide an abundance of information about a few famous people and their pets. Delightful, whimsical paintings contribute to this joyous portrait of pet ownership. The historical figures are as diverse as their feline companions, from Domenico Scarlatti to Florence Nightingale to Cleopatra, with cats who are depicted as musicians, healers, and muses. Animal lovers are sure to enjoy this charming story.–Lindsay Persohn, Crystal Lake Elementary, Lakeland, FLα(c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
