Title: Purrsnikitty
Author: Kathy Brodsky
Book Description:
Cat lovers young and old know these words ring true. When Kathy Brodsky was asking her cat-loving friends what they thought of those lines, all shook their heads in agreement. ”Yes,” they said, “that’s my cat!”
If you’re a cat lover, you’ll laugh and sigh with each page of text and illustrations of “Purrsnikitty”. The book is about cats and the silly, funny and exasperating things they do. Because they are territorial, cats like to control their domain; but sometimes they’ll share their space with others. Cats enrich the lives of people who live with them — as the cats themselves know very well. Most cats have their “owners” properly trained.

About the Illustrator:
Cameron Bennett first met Kathy Brodsky in, of all places, his Argentine Tango class. While he was showing her steps, she was showing him plans for her first children’s book My Bent Tree. ”Need an illustrator?” he asked, and the two have been working together ever since.
Cameron also does magazine illustration and teaches drawing and painting at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. He still teaches Tango, but currently only to his adorable two-year-old daughter Saskia.

My thoughts:
This is such a BEAUTIFUL book! Our whole family has enjoyed reading this book. We are cat loving people and love books that are true to the persnickety nature of cats. The pictures are beautiful and engaging. The book has themes to talk about with included discussion questions at the end. A couple of themes that are included are responsible pet ownership and sibling rivalry. Neither of my boys are old enough to go over the questions but it makes the book even more versatile and good for all ages of children. This is a very cute story that flows and rhymes really well. This a must have for cat lovers!
