Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats: 1

A beautiful version of a classic book. Lovely illustrations inside and on the dust cover.

I was given this book as a kid. I bought one for my daughter, Hence I've just bought this for my granddaughter.. the illustration is obviously better than in my day but the character of the book remains the same .. My granddaughter who is a very "modern" six years of age tells me she loves it. Sometimes kids love the old stuff too

Great book looking forward to reading

Interesting, if a bit weird. A bit of anthropomorphic going on in the author's behead, I feel. What about you ?

I bought it for myself because I have always loved the musical Cats. I shall enjoy reading the complete poem

The book arrived very quickly which was great because I wanted to read the poems again before going to the musical currently on tour. In this edition, these fun poems are so beautifully illustrated, that they make me look forward to the show even more. Whilst I am sure the book was aimed at youngsters, I have to confess that I am in my late fifties and I thought it was absolutely wonderful. A must for so many persons: cat lovers, poetry lovers, those who enjoy the musical and those who are both young in years and young at heart!

This book was excellent, bought for a ten year old but also suitable for ages 4-12. Print was a good size and illustrations also excellent.

This book is wonderful, I brought this for my daughter, she loves cats and loves the musical too. The book features all the poems and is really fun to flip through and read with children, I find myself wanting my own copy. The illustrations are really nice too, i was worried there wouldn’t be enough illustrations in the book, or that the pictures wouldn’t be that great, but they were beautiful and compliment the book nicely.

This charming collection of poems about cats is a classic everyone should have in their library. If you have seen the musical Cats that it based on this book or if you simply love cats - this is a must have. The drawings by Edward Gorey are magical & a perfect fit. Although written for his godchildren, it is a clever & humorous read for all ages. I feel it would be a hard heart indeed that wouldn't be touched by reading this. I read it before seeing Cats with my niece & found it enchanting. It also made the musical even more enjoyable than the first time I saw it without having read this. I have since bought this book as a present to my niece & of course, she loves it. A definite must have.

Old Possum Book of Practical Cats by TS Eliot is a well produced book. An utter delight to read the poems aloud in a group. This was one of my child hood favourites but lost it over time. Now I want to keep it with me to make me smile at all times. Kids loved it too

J'ai choisi ce livre pour sa renommé. L'auteur avec cet ouvrage à donc inspiré la comédie musical CAT'S. Les poèmes sont drôle de gentillesse et j' y reconnait bien la vie des chats. Pour des heures de lecture et relecture.

It was as new -- very nice condition

Very nice book to read to your child before bedtime or at any other time. The descriptions are very entertaining and the illustrations are a perfect combinations
