Absolutely delicious

I greatly enjoyed the verse.
The performances are splendid.
I wouldn’t change a thing.
A little gem which is unlikely to garner many dissenters.
And that, as they said, is That!

Some of the funniest poems ever!

This collection of cat related poems are histerical. I would recommend to everyone. They are entertaining an light hearted.

A beautiful book, beautifully read

A beautiful book, beautifully read. Titles of the poems on chapters would be a great addition…. but this is rare on Audible, so no stars deducted for that!
