Great book for any cat lover author of "Hobo Finds A Home"

I Love It!

This book features cat-related tales and folklore from around the world. The illustrator, Hala Wittwer, depicts scenes from the stories and representations of the folklore with incredible skill. Meow is the first full-sized book she's illustrated, and one can hope for many more. I am not much of a cat person, but even I was completely charmed by the breathtaking illustrations, full of loveable characters and intricate detail. I haven't gotten a chance to read through much of the book yet. The illustrations were quite enough to snare me. I've ordered this at my local bookstore, and cannot wait to get it!
