A Pussycat's Christmas

Summary: This to Pussycat was Christmas Eve.
Review: A Pussycat's Christmas is a pleasant story about Christmas Eve from a pet cat's perspective. First the kitten goes outside, rolls in the cool white snow, and frolics between the falling flakes. When the wind begins to blow, she goes back into the warm house.
She plays with the ornaments on the Christmas tree and pulls bows off of perfectly wrapped gifts. She plays around the house, with the Christmas scents of tangerines, apples, and holly all around her. This is a pussycat's Christmas.
I believed that this book is nice. The illustrations are realistic and amazing, but the story is not all that great. It is constructed well in some areas with descriptions and rhyme. However, I couldn't seem to fully understand the plot. I think that this story is best only for very young children who can just sit and enjoy the pictures.

Summary: Excellent....even for an adult.
Review: I was an adult in my mid 40's when I bought this book for myself. I love cats and the artwork in this book is outstanding. I take it out every Christmas and it is fun to look throught and to put out as a Christmas decoration.

Summary: Cat Lover's Best Christmas Gift
Review: My husband bought me this book for our first Christmas as a married couple, ten years ago. I have since shared it over and over again with not only my own three children, but also with my students, in middle school, no less. They love it. Yes, the text is simple. So what. It is lyrical and melodious, without forced rhymes. The words capture the curiosity and and wonder from a small animal's perspective, and the illustrations are magical. With all the commercialism that surrounds the holidays today, it is wonderful to have a simple story about the magic of the holidays. My three children, ages 8, 6 and 2, request it all the time. My 8year old even reads it to the other two. It has become a cherished tradition.
