Customer Reviews

A great gift for for yourself (or someone else!)

'Reigning Cats and Dogs' is an impressive book; entertaining for people of all ages to read because it encompasses a wealth of facts about the lives of famous people, from athletes to actors to politicians to poets to musicians, and beyond--all with a very clever and always highly amusing feline or canine twist. The full-color, full-page illustrations are adorable cartoons of anthromorphosized animals--(incidentally, it's certain to please the furry as well as the average person!) Two thumbs way up for this terrific gift idea. I got it as a birthday present from someone who knew I was an animal lover, and it turned out to appeal to so many more interests of mine as well. Always a cute one to flip through and to read.

superb illustrations

A Hillariously Clever Book

"Reigning Cats and Dogs," is a clever outlook at what some of our favorite and least liked celebrities would be like if they were canine-ized. The author uses his drawing talent to bring these anthropomorphic celebrity dogs and cats to life, using an almost British styled humor. Read about The Beatles, I mean, The Beagles, and read about other well known entertainers and journalists. Now, the only problem seems to be how to a get these pictures framed and on your wall.
