Whether they are strange, wicked, angelic or exotic these cats are always cats and never the little furry humans often depicted elsewhere. Why some of the cats do the things they do is anyone's guess, but in any case this book will intrigue, perplex and enlighten all at the same time. This is Simon Drew's fifth book and is the first to concentrate so strongly on one subject. The others are A Book of Bestial Nonsense, Nonsense in Flight, Still Warthogs Run Deep and The Puffin's Advice. All have received enthusiastic acclaim and sold widely in the U.K. and the rest of Europe, U.S.A., Australia and New Zealand. SELLING POINTS: Simon Drew has compiled a series of poems, puns and drawings about cats seen from unusual angles AUTHOR: Simon Drew is an unusual combination of artist and wordsmith. He combines these two talents with an inventive and quirky sense of humour in his range of books and invites us to look at the world through the magic of Drewsian spectacles. A new perspective unfolds on the world: the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the known becomes unknown, the serious becomes humorous, reality becomes nonsense. It is a topsy-turvy world of visual and verbal puns that never fail to delight. Simon Drew shakes us out of complacency in the most enjoyable of ways. For those who are not already addicted there is only one thing to suggest read them all! 48 colour illustrations
