From the exotic Turkish Angora to the familiar Maine coon, each poem reveals a playful or mysterious side of these beloved pets. Accompanied by Lee White's elegant illustrations, this collection offers intriguing insights into each breed, making it a delightful read for cat enthusiasts. What secrets do these feline haikus hold?

From the publisher

In evocative haiku, Michael J. Rosen depicts twenty different breeds of cats—whether mischievous or mysterious, comical or commanding. Some cats have names that suggest far-off lands, like the Turkish Angora and the Norwegian forest cat. Others allude to places closer to home, such as California’s ragdoll and the Maine coon. Set against Lee White’s graceful illustrations, with intriguing facts about each of twenty breeds at the end, this charming haiku collection for lovers of America’s most popular house pet provides the purr-fect book to curl up with.
