Beautiful, funny and very moving
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This retelling of the prodical son story based on a runaway cat is one children's book that moms and dads will love, maybe even more than their kids. Garrison Keillor's poem is a joy to read and the artwork so is beautiful you won't even want to let your children get their hands on it. The story is rich in sarcasm and symbolism for adults and funny rhymes and sound effects for the kids.
Not necessarily about cats
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Cat lovers, Keillor fans and children alike will enjoy this book for its beautiful art, rich and colorful writing and endearing message. But it's not necessarily about cats. Keillor hides behind the cat as Minnesota's prodigal son who finally came home. You can see the world. Become famous! You can even get rich but you can't take the -oh out of a Minnesota boy. We're glad you came home, Garrison.

A lovely tale for all ages
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I bought this book for my 4 year old who loves cats, and we read it aloud together. We love the poetry and she's become quite excited about rhymes as a result of it. I've even heard her using the line, "Cat, you better come home!" in other situations, and it has obviously made quite an impression on her. Enjoy this one!
Gorgeous art, highly rap-able verses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The artwork attracted me. Soon I was one of two middle-aged women openly rapping the verses and laughing at them in a bookstore. Others gave us a wide berth. It was great fun. THEN I saw that Garrison Keillor had written the book. Of course. I should have known.
