WOW! What an amazing book! It make me giggle at times and other times I was reaching for the Kleenex box! I can't wait for Rain City Cats! I now understand why my cats did the crazy things they did. Kiska explains really well the ups and downs of life through her eyes. It is a great book for both kids and adults. And check out those pictures! Great job Naomi with the pictures. They really capture those precocious kitties! Kiska, thanks for your contribution to kid's literature. Meow!

Your cat, my cat

I really liked the book. I plan on buying the second one. Kiska reminded me so much of my cat cuddles. my cat does all those things to his food if he doesn't like it. I also think Canica became a movie star cat. Because all cats have their own little thing that they do, in your case, Canica lifted his Paw. My cat will stick his tounge out when he is happy. Thank you for coming to my school. from, Robbie

Kiska is Great!

I liked the book a lot, My favorite part was the last chapter. Even though we don't have a cat, Kiska reminded me of one of my neighbor's cats that looks almost exactly like her. I hope to see what happens to Kiska in her next book, and I plan on buying it too.Thanks for coming to our school! Angeline

Wonderful Family Story

This book is not only dear to my heart, but I believe that it will become dear to the heart of anyone who loves cats! What a wonderful multicultural book to read as a family. After all, it is a meaningful story involving both children and adults. I'm greatful to say it is my very own childhood. Great job mom!

It's a true story- most of it anyway

This book was written by my mother and most of the information contained in it pertaining to her two daughters is true. It has been great to have our childhood journaled in such a clever way and our cat Kiska will always have a special place in my heart for sharing those experiences with us. I believe all children can find this book rather interesting as well as useful to relate to some difficult circumstances in their lives. However, mostly the book is humorous, realistic, and a great adventure detailing how a cat really thinks and what a cat would like to communicate to us humans.
