Cats, Cats, Cats!

This is a great story for a wide age range--purchased for my Granddaughter's 3rd birthday--the illustrations are so much fun

We were given this book as a gift for my daughters second birthday and she absolutely loves it. It is requested at least once a day. I will definitely check out the others (Dogs... and Pigs) for ourselves and as gifts too!

Cats, cats, cats is a purrfect addition to anyone's library. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully illustrated and delightfully authored book. From the first delicious rhyme to the last, I felt like a kid again. I smiled with glee as I turned each page to discover the mischievous adventures of Mrs. Brown's cats. Although it is listed as a children's book, the book is a must for anyone who likes to escape on a silly and tender adventure cuddled up with a good book. I would recommend reading it to youngsters at bedtime and then again to yourself because the illustrations are so exquisite and the clever writing is sure to make you grin ear to ear. Cats, cats, cats is a must, must, must!

Mrs. Brown loves her cats. She loves the softness of their fur and the loudness of their purr. She loves to comb their fluffy tails and manicure their nails. She loves to fill her lap with them and sometimes, take a nap with them. And all day long as her cats snooze away, Mrs Brown does all her household chores. But, in the evening after she puts down their food and goes up to bed, Mrs Brown's cats party the night away, eating spaghetti and throwing confetti, dancing and chasing their tails, knitting and purling and whooping it up until the crack of dawn. And then, as the new day begins, the cats begin their beauty sleep and Mrs Brown starts cleaning up their mess and putting her house back in order again..... Lesla Newman has written a charming and humorous picture book that will delight both youngsters and adults with its expressive rhyming text. Her gentle story is only outdone by Erika Oller's wonderfully busy and detailed watercolor artwork and kids will be mesmerized as they watch the many antics of Mrs Browns very talented felines. Perfect for children 3-7, Cats, Cats, Cats makes a terrific gift and is sure to make a cat lover out of everyone!

This book may be aimed at youngsters but the humor of the slightly wacky rhyming and the amusing watercolor illustrations makes it a delightful story to read out loud over and over to all the cat lovers you know. There's lots to discover in each picture of all the silly things cats do. I'm buying it for my mother, who at 79 has suddenly adopted a slightly scaled down group of felines. I know she'll recognize quite a few of the cats!
