  • Glamorgan's Tales: A Cat's Garden of Verse by Lauren S. Bani
  • Glamorgan's Tales: He Who Would Be Cat by Lauren S. Bani

    •      In this book we learn "Why Glamorgan Became a Cat" and are reminded of the importance of being true to one's nature. The character Boscolabaroo demonstrates the hazards of cunning intelligence without common sense. We are thrilled by the adventures of Zorro and Garcia who demonstrate street-savvy agility and friendship of the highest order. In "Eisenhower" we are haunted by Glamorgan's subtle observation of what causes mean cats. And anyone who owns a cat and has had to leave him behind will recognize the "Ghost Cat."  This book of 18 poems belongs on the desk or nightstand of anyone who appreciates cats and words.

  • Cats Vanish Slowly by Ruth Tiller, Laura L. Seeley (Illustrator)

    •    In a format reminiscent of T. S. Eliot's "Book of Practical Cats", but considerably more accessible, Tiller's collection of 12 poems captures the personalities of the cats on her grandmother's farm, among them, B.P. (bad penny), the "criminal cat" who always returns, and Cougar, who only lives up to her fierce name when dreaming. Along with descriptions of the cats come loving depictions of Tiller's grandmother and great-aunt, "different as sugar and salt," and of the farm in summer when it's too hot for anything but curling "in a rocking chair by the front porch door with a bundle of fur in your lap."
       Seeley's paintings are as evocative as the poems, catching cats in their many shapes, colors, and moods. Children may not understand every reference -- James Dean and witch hazel, for example--but that won't prevent them from fully enjoying this cat-lover's delight.
