Product Details |
Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Domestic cats and kittens have always composed verse, but much of their work has yet to be translated from the original feline and Meow. Humorist Deborah Coates has come to the rescue with 150 Cat Haiku, accompanied with cute faux-Japanese line drawings: "Surprise! I can jump/ Through the newspaper while you/ Are still reading it!"
Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
Book Description
This humorous collection of 150 haikus captures the psyche of cats, and distills the essence of kitty behavior in the five-seven-five scheme of classic Japanese poetry. The poems are accompanied by line drawings.

Sorry but Not Haiku,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat Haiku (Hardcover)
It's a funny idea, but really has nothing to do with Haiku poetry at all. And that, I'm afraid, is VERY disappointing. I recommend checking out "Take A Deep Breath: The Haiku Way to Inner Peace" to anyone who is really interested in understanding and truly enjoying Haiku poetry.

Fantastic, funny, and feline!,
By Edward Nolan (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cat Haiku (Hardcover)
I found this book in a local 'art shop' and loved it then, but refused to pay full price for it. It was delightful enough to stay in my mind (2 years later), though, and now when I find copies on sale, I buy them to give them as gifts to my literate 'friends-of-cats'.

Weak Imitation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat Haiku (Hardcover)
If you are going to read cat haiku,you might want to try other books. Much of this is similar to other cat haiku books, but it's not original in its idea. Personally, I would recommend Catnips: A Book of Haiku on Cats. It was first with the idea.
