5.0 out of 5 stars Literary adorableness
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2015
*I received an advance copy in exchange for an unbiased review.*

This is a delightful collection of poems about cats, illustrated by the wonderful creator of the Cat Vs. Human webcomic. The choice of poems is broad, and the illustrations perfectly suited. They're not just little marginal illustrations, either; in one sense, I might describe this as a book of graphic poems, in the vein of a graphic novel. It would make a lovely gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book for the crazy cat lady
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015
This book is compiled of existing cat poems by various authors, and Yasmine From the cat vs human comics/blog illustrates cute drawings that go with them. It's a very cute and enjoyable book that is pleasing to the eye, and a great coffe table book for the cat lady in all of us. I actually read the poems to my newborn!

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015
While I doubt this will be set to music and staged, the book definitely belongs up on the shelf with Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. An amusing and sometimes thought provoking look at the relationship between cats and people through different eras and viewpoints accompanied by Ms. Surovec's delightfully insightful artwork.

Cute illustrations, but many of the poems were written in such old-world English that they were hard to understand. Liked the variety of poems though.

3.0 out of 5 stars A brief collection of famous poems about cats with adorable illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015
'Poems about Cats' is a collection of, well, poems about cats. It's illustrated by Yasmine Surovec, the creator or Cat vs Human, and the drawings are really cute.

There are a wide range of poems here from Ancient Egypt to nursery rhymes. There are works by William Blake, and Yeats and Shakespeare and Dickinson to name just a few. Edward Lear Curiously omitted is work by t.s. eliot, but perhaps that is cat ground already well trodden. There are illustrations for every poem, although in ebook form, these are sometimes cut off on a two page format.

At 98 pages, it feels a bit light, but the illustrations are lovely. If you need a small gift book for a cat fancier, I suppose you could do worse than a volume of poems about cats with lovely illustrations.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Feline Poetry
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015
Illustrated by Ysmine Surovec (author and illustrator of Cat Vs Human), POEMS ABOUT CATS is a collection of various cat poems. The poems include famous nursery rhymes and texts from Ancient Egpyt. Yeats, William Blake, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Christina Rossetti all made the cut, but there's nothing from that famed T.S. Eliot book of poems, OLD POSSUM'S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS. The illustrations are just like the ones in the Cat Vs Human books. In terms of poetry, it's kind of a wide selection. However, people who enjoy poetry really aren't the ones that will be purchasing this book. This is a book pretty much just for cat lovers.
