Customer Review #1:
A lot of fun to read..
If youve read The Wastland or any of the other, more substantial poems by T.S Eliot, you may be shocked at Old Possums Book of Practical Cats. But dont be fooled, even in the simple subject matter there is genius in Eliots writing.This is the only poem book of Eliots that I own and its a great deal of fun to read. My favorite cat is Macavity. If youve seen the musical Cats (which I havent), heres the inspiration. This is also a great first book to get younger people interested in poetry. The language Eliot uses is flowery and catchy, and the subject matter is centered on those cute furballs. Enjoy.

>^oo^lt; Meow!! the inspiration for CATS
This book contains the poetry that inspired Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical. Edward Goreys illustrations do full justice to the characters, my two favorites are Macavity and the Jellicles. If youve ever wished you could be a cat, these are the cats youll wish you could specifically be. Yes, each of them all in order! Purr-sonaly (couldnt resist!) I cant make up my mind between Old Deuteronomy or the Rum Tum Tugger. >^oo^lt;

Customer Review #3:
Charmed!
This book was a delightful read! Poems for everybody to come to love! It was also the inspiration behind the musical Cats, and everybody can certainly see why!Between some of the cheerful and bubbly poems youll find, a discussion/interpretation of the social issues surrounding Eliot at that time, giving the reader an insight into the inspiration behind his poetry and into his psychology.
Garnished with lovely illustrations to feed and humor your imagination, Old Possums Book of Practical Cats has everything to become something for all of the family, and all generations to behold. I couldnt put it down, and it always beckons a re-read!
