Each letter has a poem:
"M is for Meow
Feed me, pet me, come and play.
Let me out, please go away!
A cat fits all these thoughts somehow
into the tiny word MEOW."
At the sides of the poems is a lot of information. So little humans can read the poems and learn a little or read the whole page and learn a lot! There is stuff there about cats inspiring famous artists (of course!) and kitty ancestors and when cats decided it was ok to live with humans. Neat!
G is for grooming. R is for rescue. T is for tail and toes. It's a pretty good cat alphabet. And I really like the mostly realistic pictures by Robert Papp. Some of the kitty eyes look suspiciously like human eyes...what IS it with humans that every animal has to look human? Narcissistic much? (Daddy Tim helped me with that word). Only one cat has on clothes...and apparently he is from a famous story called "Puss in Boots," so I guess it's ok in this one instance.
Speaking of the pictures, I would like to know HOW they got a picture of me, Martian Baby, Squeakless Mouse and my cosmic catnip bag...Check out the P is for purr page! That's us. Creepy! I included a picture of Squeakless below just in case you forgot what he looks like.
Little human cat lovers need to have this book. It's the perfect way to learn the human alphabet and learn about your cat siblings too!
Today's tip for Cat Children of Human People (CaCHuPs): Your human will probably be pushy at times and think that they are in charge. My Daddies take me outside when they can...instead of when I want to and that is annoying. Then they make me go in even if I haven't sniffed everything. It's your job to control them with cute, targeted lovins and sleep deprivation. I think we have covered "turning on the cute" to get what you want. Like if I want to stay out longer, I roll on my back or talk to a bird (sometimes there isn't even a bird...I just pretend and charm my Daddies). And of course, if you keep them tired by waking them up repeatedly, they will be more suggestible. Remember: just because they are bigger and have thumbs doesn't mean they are really in charge!
