Customer Reviews

I Love Cats and Love Warren Kimbal's Cats especially

I must start off my saying I am a great fan of the artist Warren Kimbal and would love any book with his animals. But the "Cat's Meow" is particularly important because my grand-daughter ADORES cats and, at 3 1/2, is trying to copy her older brother in reading letters and trying to learn to read words. This book will be perfect for her! There are so many fun cats and so few and such simple words! It will give her a great feeling of accomplishment and equality with her brother as she turns the pages and reads the words!

Purrfect book

This book was purchased because it perfectly matches some items of decor based on the tuxedo cat depicted! Thus it made a great Christmas gift! However, it's a great kid's book with engaging illustrations too! If you're a feline fancier you'll love it!

PURR-FECT ILLUSTRATIONS

Thanks to the imaginative vision and gifted palette of artist Warren Kimble his favorite cats not only catch eyes but win hearts. From "Mat Cat," a serene orange ball of fur who stakes out territory on a rug to"Happy Cat," a contented black and white bright eyed feline who perches atop a gift box, all rendered in the incomparable Kimble manner. As most know, he is one of the foremost folk artists in our country with his popular cats being found on everything from notepads to wallpaper. A former elementary art teacher, he left teaching to find a home in Vermont he once shared a 200 year old barn with cows, sheep, chickens and various four legged creatures. He's happiest when painting on distressed wood - antique doors, breadboards, tabletops. We're happy leafing through The Cat's Meow and enjoying his full color cat paintings - all done on his favorite surface, distressed wood. Highly recommended. - Gail Cooke
