Customer Reviews

a must read for your child's library

This is a wonderful story of Bendemolena "the cat with a pot on her head" We read this story to our children as they were growing up and laughed every time. We had a "cat with a pot on her head" in our home and each time she would turn things around we would tag her with "Bendemolena" for the rest of the night. When the older kids come home we will read this book and "Ding Dong Bing Bong" at least once. I just bought two copies of this book to put in the stockings of my two oldest. It is a wonderfully funny story!

Best book for kids and creating childhood memories

As a mother of four this book was my children's favorite bedtime story! Both of my daughters(19 and 21) have purchased this book as a intimate gift for their boy friends. I am back to buy the book for my young neice. I hope this becomes her favorite childhood book and will pass it on to others.

Excellent

This book has been well written and illustrated and is hilarious from front cover to back cover. It has been read over and over again in this household. I highly recommend this book to both children and adults.

Long-time friend of the cat with the pot on her head

This is the best book ever written! I am 20 now and still in love with "Bendemolina, Bendemolina, the cat with the pot on her head". This was my ratty dog-eared most favorite book of all time when I was little--it got read every night. It became a part of our family traditions (i.e. anytime I wasn't listening I got called a Bendemolina). By the way, I can't remember if that's how you spell the kitty's name, but that's how it sounds--and wow, that book has great sounds! If you buy this book, I can guarantee that your children will love it. Finding that it is still in print, I'm going to buy it for my boyfriend's two small sons. Yay! More moop on the feep!

Exponentially Increase Your Silliness Quotient:

Hey! Don't blame us for enriching phonemic awareness of pre- and early readers with this hilarious story. That's what's happening at our house because our six year-old wants to hear this story every night. When the eldest of 10 kittens wears a shiny pot as a hat, she has a hard time hearing her mother's instructions. Highly original and nonsensical household chaos ensues. The wacky rhyming text in this inventive plot does not fail to induce uncontrolled giggling. (Our favorite: "Mup the moop on the feep?") Witty illustrations highlight the absurdity of each situation when the cat with the pot on her head repeats what she thought she was told. Depending on your point of view, the moral of the story could either be to always or to never wear a pot on your head!
