Summary: cartoons from a poet?
Review: I saw this book on a poetry site where "Cat" had a poem and thought , "What would cartoons by a poet be like?" - so I ordered a copy. Well, they certainly come from a poet's eye and sense. Definitely not ones the kids will laugh at (well, maybe some really bright kids) but for the rest of us...I would recommend them. I'd like to see her poetry offered - maybe even illustrated?
