There's really not a whole lot to say about this little book, it speaks for itself. It's a tiny morsel of complete happiness, wrapped up in a flurry of pictures of ridiculously cute kittens doing kittenish things. Kittens sleeping, kittens learning to walk, kittens eating, kittens playing. Several different breeds are showcased, including Russian Blues, Toygers, Persians and Munchkins (Munchkins?? I know, I didn't even know there was such thing as a Munchkin cat, but now I need three or four).
Personally, I'm not one of those people who sees cute little kids and feels the pangs of motherhood, but this book made my ovaries ache. If you're a total cat mama or papa, you'll want this book. If you've got kids that love cats, they'll enjoy this book. If you're thinking about taking that plunge into cat-ownership and want to be pushed right off that cliff into the deep end, you should take a look at this book.
You're not going to learn a whole lot from this book, but you'll have a few moments of pure bliss and appreciation of the amazingly cute things that can exist in this world, and that is more than worth the ten minutes it would take you to leaf through its pages.

Detective Constable Cat Kinsella is investigating the murder of a woman who turns out to have given herself a new identity years before. Cat realizes that she not only knew the victim--as a young but mature teenager who abruptly left the town they grew up in--but that she's always suspected her own father of having something to do with her disappearance. A slow boil of a mystery with well-developed characters. -Candice
