Reception

Voake's watercolor cats, energized by a loose, doodly ink line, are so expressive they almost talk. .. Creamy paper, a large airy format, and a beautiful rotund typeface all contribute to a book that is eminently suitable to group story time and that does justice to the elegance of catdom.
