Illustrated by
Mark Buehner.
The essential cat, in all its haughty self-assurance, is brought to vivid life in this captivating volume that alternates haiku with longer, rhyming verses. Realistic oil and acrylic full-page paintings (striking enough that an invitation to find animals hidden in each page seems an unnecessary disraction) illustrate a book that holds its own int he cat-poetry category.
