Reviews:

"Cat lovers will go wild for this work, as will poets and dreamers. Ages 8-up."

"With their magical grace, wide range and easy humor, the verse brings to mind the work of Robert Louis Stevenson. Each poem is a gem, but the sum is even greater than its parts."
  -San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
