Book ~ "All Cats Are Introverts" (2019) Francesco Marciuliano

From Goodreads ~ Have you ever been labeled as "antisocial," "shy," or "lost in your own thoughts" because you don't realize someone's been calling your name 148 times? The cats understand. 

"All Cats Are Introverts" is a collection of self-reflective poetry from cats that clearly shows them to be the insightful, often alert, crowd-averse, personally engaging, probably napping-as-we-speak introverts of the animal kingdom. Enjoy this completely relatable and hilarious book, and perhaps you will soon see the cat - and even yourself - in a whole new light.

I'm not into poetry but I'm into cats and that's why this book caught my eye ... plus I've read a couple of  this author's  books and thought they were cute.

The poems are "written" by cats and are grouped into three categories ... on one's own, one-on-one, and one too many.  They give you insight into what your cat is thinking and why they do what they do.  Plus there are lots of colour pictures of gorgeous kittens and cats.

This is a quick cute read.  Here are some examples from the book ...

Book ~ "I Could Chew on This: And Other Poems by Dogs" (2013) Francesco Marciuliano

 From Goodreads ~ This canine companion to "I Could Pee on This", the beloved volume of poems by cats, "I Could Chew on This" will have dog lovers laughing out loud. 

Doggie laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their hidden motives, and their eternal (and sometimes misguided) effervescence through such musings as "I Dropped a Ball," "I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House" and "Can You Smell That?" 

Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all their magnificence, "I Could Chew on This" is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable appetite, and, yes, creative genius.

I'm not into poetry but I'm into dogs and that's why this book caught my eye ... plus I recently read I Could Pee on This and enjoyed it.

The poems are "written" by dogs and are grouped into four categories ... inside, outside, by your side and heavy thinking.  They give you insight into what your dog is thinking and why they do what they do.  Plus there are lots of colour pictures of gorgeous puppies and dogs.

This is a quick cute read and I look forward to reading others by this author.  Here are some examples from the book ...

Book ~ "I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats" (2012) Francesco Marciuliano

From Goodreads ~ Cat lovers will laugh out loud at the quirkiness of their feline friends with these insightful and curious poems from the singular minds of housecats.

In this hilarious book of tongue-in-cheek poetry, the author of the internationally syndicated comic strip Sally Forth helps cats unlock their creative potential and explain their odd behaviour to ignorant humans.

With titles like Who Is That on Your Lap?, This Is My Chair, Kneel Before Me, Nudge, and Some of My Best Friends Are Dogs, the poems collected in "I Could Pee on This" perfectly capture the inner workings of the cat psyche.

With photos of the cat authors throughout, this whimsical volume reveals kitties at their wackiest, and most exasperating (but always lovable). 

I'm not into poetry but I'm into cats and that's why this book caught my eye.  Look at that cutie on the cover!

The poems are "written" by cats and are grouped into four categories ... family, work, play and existence.  They give you insight into what your cat is thinking and why they do what they do.  Plus there are lots of colour pictures of gorgeous kittens and cats.

This is a quick cute read and I look forward to reading others by this author.  Here are some examples from the book ...
