Customer Reviews

Love it!!!

This is a delightfully whimsical book with colorful illustrations and rhythmically-flowing dialogue. I add various tones and vocal changes when reading it aloud to my young daughter (who is enthralled by the story and quite absorbed in Nana Quimby's dilemma!) A joy for all ages, a classic to be treasured throughout generations...

I love this book!

I was browsing in the bookstore and came across Cat Up A Tree, and immediately fell in love with it. The story is cute and entertaining, but by far the best thing about it are the illustrations! They're very vivid, detailed and excellently done, I spent a lot of time just looking at them, so I know that my child is going to love them, too.Definitely a great book for young children and those who read to them.

You won't mind reading it three times a night...

This is a very sweet, humorous story. The watercolor illustrations are beautiful. My son enjoys counting the cats as they multiply.

It was really funny!

I liked the part when the cats got stuck in the tree. I liked the part when Nana Quimbe called the town hall. It is fun to wonder what will happen at the end when mice flood the town.

Five stars from my kids

This is a very funny, witty book that both kids and parents will appreciate. My kids thought it was wonderful and had the whole thing memorized after two or three readings. This is a first-rate book for any age.
