Review Quotes

"A real treat for the legion of readers with intersecting loves of books and cats." - Booklist
"The best part of the book is its potential for teaching and learning; the less concrete descriptors open the way for vocabulary-building, and once the author has shown them how to play the game, most readers will want to come up with their own alphabets." - School Library Journal
"An alphabetical celebration of the venerable bookstore cat." - Kirkus Reviews
