A Cat Book

Cats know what they want—and see little reason to apologise for it.
In A Cat Book, E. V. Lucas turns feline habits into a playful collection of short, rhyming poems. From kittens tangling themselves in wool to cats helping themselves to tempting treats, these verses capture the mischief, dignity, and determined appetites that make living with a cat so entertaining.
There are stolen meals without a trace of guilt, suspicious glances at goldfish, noisy performances on the rooftops, and firm objections to being dressed up or disturbed. Lucas approaches each subject with lively humour and a sharp eye for the comic possibilities of everyday cat behaviour.
The short poems and memorable rhythms make this an enjoyable choice for reading aloud with children, while their teasing observations offer plenty to amuse adult cat lovers too.
For families who enjoy animal poetry, readers with a fondness for humorous verse, and anyone whose household answers to a pair of whiskers, A Cat Book offers a cheerful little escape.
Settle in for a celebration of cats behaving exactly as they please.
