PRACTICAL CATS--NOW AND FOREVER!

As a mystery author with my debut novel in its initial release that features a private investigator who is also a poet, I love this book. This verse collection is perhaps T.S. Eliot's most accessible work, and it provided the raw material for the fabulous musical CATS. I enjoy reading these poems, and I've enjoyed attending the musical. I think I saw CATS three times during its Winter Garden run, twice in Los Angeles, and once each in San Francisco and the Palm Springs area. CATS would not exist as a most enjoyable musical if the poet Eliot had not first jotted down OLD POSSUM'S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS.

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot

This fun portrayal of cats is worded with playful alliteration and would be a welcome book in any child's bookshelf. This is the book that the famous play "Cat's," is loosely based on. I saw Cat's in London and the Jellicle cats dance in my head as I read this silly melodic tale. Maybe you can fit your cat's personality type with one of T.S. Eliot's cat creations.

Cats forever

A set of nice and musical poems on various cats. They are enchanting and light and every rhyme is the best, each one better than all the others. A little book to be given to boys and girls who do not know yet that language is art and speaking may be a compliment to their lives.

Cute and Funny

This book always cracks me up. T.S. Eliot's cats are so much like cats (both fatcats and felines) I have encountered over the years that no matter which poem I read I can relate it to a real cat. It's just so charming. I recommend this to anyone. If you like cats, poetry, TS ELiot, or Webber's Cats you'll love this book.

Great poetry and illustrations!

When questioned where the famous play, "CATS" may have come from, I pointed out this book. It is my most favorite kitty-related collection of poetry. The artwork is by Edward Gorey, the famous magazine and book illustrator of the early 20th century. The poetry *about fourteen or fifteen titles* totally appeal to cat lovers of all kinds. The terrific tales of the Jellicles and the Gumbie Cat will leave readers giggling and searching for thier furry friends out "beside the hearth or in the sun or on my hat..." This book was a bit smaller than I had originally anticipated, but the plucky nature of the poetry left me thinking I bought it at a bargain! Truely a cat lover's book, I highly recommend it!
