Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
This was a book I had to love since I love poetry and I love cats. Some of you may know the play Cats! was inspired by this book but I never saw the play. I have been familiar with the book for a good many years though and never get tired of reading of the antics of Old Deuteronomy, Jennyanydots (the gumby cat) or Macavity (the master of disguise). Fine ink drawings bring the characters to life while T.S. Elliot lets you know why it is cats must have three different names. The only thing that's disappointing about it is it's too short, so I gave it four stars. It is still a delightful book with plenty of clever illustrations.

I love this book. T.S. Eliot is known to have said that he liked certain cats more than certain people ( a view that I thoroughly understand), and in this charming collection of poems he shows us why:) All cats are neither good nor bad, what matters is that they are CATS, which means a special attitude to the world ...

This book always cracks me up. T.S. Eliot's cats are so much like cats (both fatcats and felines) I have encountered over the years that no matter which poem I read I can relate it to a real cat. It's just so charming. I recommend this to anyone. If you like cats, poetry, TS ELiot, or Webber's Cats you'll love this book.

What a great book!! I gave this to my 22 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves books. I read to her as a child, and decided to start collecting great children's books for her that she does not have from her childhood. This is the first one I bought for the collection. She was THRILLED! The pictures in this version are really beautiful.
