Book Overview
Mrs. Lovewright is a chilly person, and she knows exactly what she needs to warm up. "There's no being cozy without a cat," she says. So she adopts an adorable kitten she names Purrly. But she soon finds herself in a battle of wills with a cat who has no intention of being cozy. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat can guess who will emerge victorious. Called "wonderfully idiosyncratic" by Washington Post Book World, this tale by acclaimed author Lore Segal and Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky is back in print to delight a new generation of readers.

Wonderfully Amusing Children`s Story!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
"The Story of Mrs. Lovewright and Purrless Her Cat" is a wonderfully illustrated, funny story that can be enjoyed by anyone; however, I would say that it would probably appeal the most to children between about five to 12. I read it to my 6 and 8 year-old granddaughters, and they loved it!
The Story of Mrs. Lovewright and Purrless Her Cat
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Lore Segal and Paul Zelinsky have created a timeless, fine, humorous work that is delightful for both adults and children. Mrs. Lovewright is among the funniest and most beautifully rendered characters I've found in children's literature.I give this book the high praise I reserve for such children's stories as Grasshopper on the Road, Caleb and Kate, and Mr. Dog.Last year, I read Mrs. Lovewright over public radio and received numerous calls from adults who wanted to find a copy of the story for themselves. It's sad that such a hilarious, heartwrench and warmer has been lost to the black hole called "out of print."
