I Knead My Mommy And Other Poems By Kittens — Review & Giveaway
New York Times bestselling author of I Could Pee On This Francesco Marciuliano’s new book of poetry by kittens is squee-worthy. But wait! The prince of pet poetry and his kitty muses tell it like it really is. Yes, I Knead My Mommy And Other Poems by Kittens has oodles of cute pics of kittens in the same gorgeous, pocket-sized format but these kittens have claws. Scratch the surface and you’ll find hidden treasure and I don’t mean the kind in the litter box.
Under the guise of sly humor, Marciuliano mines feline reality. His charming world of innocent kittens learning the ropes in new homes include introductions to older resident cats, cats that predeceased them, bonding with other species of pets, being bored, separation anxiety, toys that aren’t meant to be toys and exploring every nook and crevice because they can. Deeper take away messages include reframing superstitions about black cats and how cats don’t really like being dressed up or being baby surrogates. The pretty little book begs to be read again and again. And just like cats, each time will reveal another layer of their inscrutable nature.
If you liked I Could Pee on This, you’ll love and need I Knead My Mommy. The two books make perfect bookends for gift giving for any occasion. There is a dog version and I hear a puppy poem book is in the works for the perfect bipetual quartet.
We have Christmas in July. Three lucky Cat Wisdom 101 readers will win copies of I Knead My Mommy.
On the day we announce the winners we’ll share our exclusive Q & A with Francesco Marciuliano.
To enter the giveaway simply leave a comment before 11:59 ET, Aug. 3, 2014. For extra chances to win, social media share and tell us in a separate comment where you shared.
