Our Cat Flossie

Describes the pursuits Flossie loves best, such as gardening, helping make beds, collecting butterflies, getting in boxes, and sleeping.

PreSchool-Grade 2 Brown follows Flossie through a typical cat day. Flossie has a full lifechildren meet her neighbors, learn her hobbies, see her favorite haunts around the house. With authorial tongue firmly in cheek, Brown tells youngsters that Flossie is "an enthusiastic gardener," as she is pictured digging up a bed of nasturtiums. Brown is, quite obviously, gone on cats, and anyone who shares her feeling will be quite gone on Flossie. Those philistines who do not know that cats are people, too, may call this book precious, but pay them (and their dogs) no mind. The paintings, softly colored portraits of Flossie, are charming. The page design is pleasingly effective, and the quality of the color reproduction is startingly rich. A book that is simplefulfillingly so. Christina Olson, Beverly Hills Public Library
