Customer Reviews

This is a HUMAN cat, ofcourse they all are!

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a book about cats that I can give to friends of mine that are older than 6 - much older than 6. I think this is one of those rare books that adults and children will love. While I admit, I am partial to cats, even my dog loving friends will find this book a real treat. I can't wait until I get compliments on my taste after I've given this book as a present to my friends. The authors and their companion are marvelous.

A truly beautiful book!

Birthday, the cat, is a charming character whose adventures are irresistible! Birthday's sense of humor and adorable antics will bring joy to any reader. Her take on the aspects of our world that we may sometimes take for granted such as a romp on the beach, a meeting in the park, or simply a beautiful sky, will brighten every readers day. I found myself chuckling through many of the stories, and captivated by Don and Noriko Carroll's gorgeous photography. This is a fabulous book for adults, children and anyone who has ever loved a pet. In addition, the glimmering images make this book a fixture for the coffee table and an excellent gift! I never get tired of Birthday's world, and I'm delighted to have this book in my collection.

A great adventure!

This is a wonderfully imaginative and insightful look at the world of a cat through the eyes of a human. Don and Noriko Carroll have captured the essence of mischief and adventure of what we love about cats! The funny tales and the sweet family (Mama and Papa and Birthday) are enjoyable to read and even more beautiful to look at. A great book for kids, adults and cat-lovers of all ages!
