It's a CAT

Ben is obsessed with cats, and pictures of cats, and our cat Bonnie, and his newest trick: pointing. And when he gets going he has a full conversation complete with gestures and jokes with each picture, or at Bonnie, or of pictures of Bonnie.

So our new favorite cat books are:

The cover of James Herriot's All Things Wise and Wonderful. Notice the amazingly cute kitty.

The inside is rather full of words and no more pictures of cats, but the cover gets lots of kisses and giggles. Do you remember that when a book with only words was a complete bore?

And, yay for English relatives who sent The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr.

Look at this "big, furry, stripy tiger" - irresistible.

Ben with his tiger:


And I have to report that the horrible Touch and Sparkle books are now a big hit because there are pictures of kitties. These were in the give away pile because the "touch" aspect was just a circle somewhere on the animal, the pets have dumb names (that is Gerry below) and they have ugly pastel backgrounds.



win some, lose some.
