First sentence: Cat-Itude
This cat wears pants.
They're custom-made
in tiger-striped velour.
You can't ignore
a cat in pants.
That's what he wears them for.

Premise/plot: This one is a collection of poems celebrating ANIMALS IN PANTS. Each poem is illustrated. Each one features an animal in pants. Plenty of animals, plenty of pants, so many rhymes.

My thoughts: What you see is what you get. No tricks here. I will say that I wasn't personally 100% sold on the rhythm of the rhyming poems. (Some work better than others). But overall, this silly poetry book was enjoyable. I definitely had a couple of favorite poems, including the first poem, "Cat-Itude."… (altro)
