A Tale of Two Kitties

I absolutely love this book. As the official reviewers state above, it is true that it really is for adults rather than children, as children will probably not get it. But for adult cat lovers, it is a real treat. As one who loves cats, cat art, and travel, this was the perfect book for me, depicting cats in a sidewalk Parisian café, cats in a gondola by the Rialto bridge in Venice, cats visiting the Sphinx in Egypt, which of course has the face of a cat. Smith's artwork is fantastic, very warm and colorful, and the subject makes it even better. Recommended for those who enjoy whimsical cat art and stories.

In 1899, Agatha Cat embarks with his daughter, Jessica, in search of a sister to break the wonderful news of a large inheritance. In the manner of a genuine travel journal, A Tale of Two Kitties relates their fascinating journey to such amazing places as London, Paris, Venice, Athens, Giza, India, and San Francisco. Along the way both mother cat and daughter cat write entertaining entries and letters relating intriguing tales of the many adventures. Enhancing this unique and very highly recommended picturebook for young readers of all ages, A Tale Of Two Kitties is enhanced with three interactive letters that pull out of actual envelopes; a fold-out map of their travels; as well as simulated ticket stubs, photographs, and other memorabilia "taped" to the pages. Fun and informative!
