5.0 out of 5 stars Fun!, 10 Feb 2008
By C. A. Caddick "PSCaddick" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always loved these poems. Elliot really managed to capture the personality of different cats in his different poems, which will sparkle out to anyone who has ever loved or owned a cat, a little bit of the Rum Tug Tugger here, a bit of Bustopher Jones there... cats to a tee, and wonderful fun! Buy a copy with Edward Gorey's fantastic illustrations, they really bring the poems to life. I'd also recommend this to future cat owners - heed the words of 'The Addressing of Cats' - you've got to treat cats with respect!

3.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting Poems, 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I was read these poems when i was very young. 20 years later and they are still as enchanting as they were when i was one. The poems are used in the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical 'Cats' My favourite peoms is Magical Mr Mystoffles. Good for young and old!
