Summary: brilliant!
Comment: Henry Beard has both a good knowledge of the original poems and of cats. His spoofs are tremendously clever, and he chooses the most common poems in English literature, so most people will recognize them. I laughed myself nearly sick. It's as good as jogging! ;-)
Rating: 5
Summary: Clever and Inspired
Comment: This book is funny in and of itself; however, if you are familiar with the poems on which these are based, you're in for a special treat. Beard doesn't just substitute words: his premise is that the poets' cats wrote these poems, which makes "She Walks In Booties" or "Abyssinias" even more feline, er, sublime...

Summary: Hilarious Cat Poetry
Comment: This is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Henry Beard takes famous poems, familar to almost anyone, and changes the words so that they seem to be written from the perspective of a cat. For example, take Poe's raven, which the cat wants to eat. Or, TS Elliot, where the cat measures out his life in cat food tins. Beard manages to keep the cadance of the poems true to the original poetry while changing the words only enough to make for truely hilarious reading. This book is for anyone who has ever enjoyed classic poetry-and loves cats.
