Praise

Rosen presents one perfect haiku—five-seven-five with a burst of insight—each on 20 different cat breeds. … Each poem is paired with a beautiful, digitally created full-color illustration by White… This perfect poetical paean to pussycats makes both a fine gift for a cat lover and an excellent haiku handbook.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The brevity and poignancy of the haiku format perfectly capture the feline essence in this book of verse…. This attractive, delightful volume will enchant cat lovers and is a great selection for those who want to inject some life into their poetry collections.
—School Library Journal (starred review)

Each exquisitely crafted poem and image captures the personalities of the cats, the diversity of settings, and the quiet magic of each moment.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Often clarifying and enhancing the verse for young readers, White’s digital illustrations combine a sense of spontaneity in line work with strong composition and interesting textures. A worthy companion to Rosen’s The Hound Dog’s Haiku and Other Poems for Dog Lovers
—Booklist

There’s something about cats and haiku that just seems to go together, as noted poet Rosen demonstrates…
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Rosen’s other collections of pet and animal books have been popular with young readers and this adds another volume to the shelf of favorite animal poetry.
—Literacy Daily

This book would add to the poetry section of any library and any student who loves cats will enjoy this book also.
