Customer Reviews

Excellent....even for an adult.

I was an adult in my mid 40's when I bought this book for myself. I love cats and the artwork in this book is outstanding. I take it out every Christmas and it is fun to look throught and to put out as a Christmas decoration.

My Most Favorite Christmas Story Ever!

Captivating pictures and prose paint images of a silvery Christmas Eve seen from a pussycats' perspective. I read this book over and over at Christmas...with or without children to share it with me. But a Delight to Share!

Soothing rhythm and beautiful pictures

This book became one of my son's favorites when he was about 2 years old and it's becoming one of my daughter's favorites now that she's 2. I love to read this story to them at bedtime because the rhythm of the words is calming to all of us. The pictures are detailed, life-like and beautiful. This book captures so well the sights and sounds of Christmas as seen and heard by an endearing housepet.

A cat watches her humans prepare for Christmas.

This is a beautifully illustrated, gentle and funny story about a family cat as she watches her human family prepare to celebrate Christmas. Any cat lover will appreciate the observant and lavishly colored illustrations of this mischevious feline: her unusual reaction to snow; having to be put out of the parlor so the humans can wrap gifts without her playful interferences; her fascination with the tree ornaments. It is an all-time favorite for our family.
