Great photography, ADORABLE kittens

This book is one that you can flip through again and again. Not only are the kittens absolutely adorable to look at, but the photographs are so well done that it's impossible NOT acknowledge how talented Rachael Hale is. It is sure to make a great gift for anyone and everyone, no matter what the occasion is. With those precious little kitties captured in the cutest of moments, paired along with fantastic quotes leading you towards a happier life, how can you go wrong?

I'm not one for coffee table books but WOW this one is so cute!

-- Absolutely irresistible. I bought this on a whim through a book club offer and am so happy I did. It is soooo wonderful. The photos aren't just *cute* but also well-shot. They have an artistic bent -- not just another cute kitties book -- and are very uplifting. The author pairs heart-melting photographs of kittens (mostly 6 weeks old) with day-brightening quotes from various authors and philosophers. For some reason, looking at their happy little furry faces never gets old, and never fails to put a smile on my face. This is a wonderful book to get and to share with the other animal lovers in your life. :-)

a good way to occupy your spare time

If you are a cat person, as i clearly am, you will find this to be an absolutely adorable collection of pictures... For what it is it is great.. If you have some spare time passing through the bookstore - page through this one..

Loveable kittens

Rachael Hale's book is adorable. How could not fall in love with these adorable little kittens.? She is number one in cat photography.

Oh my gosh...

This is the cutest ever!!! The photographs of the kittens alone would be enough. Or the funny, inspiring quotations by themselves would be enjoyable. But the pictures and quotes paired together make an irresistible book. This is a "must" for the cat lover on your gift list. Heck, this book is so cute it would convert a cat hater. Rachel Hale is a remarkable photographer. As an added touch, she identifies each kitten by name and includes an appendix which comments on her personal experience while photographing each kitten. I felt like I knew each one!
