About this title

Review:

"If fresh, imaginative writing and brilliantly animated pictures, all wonderfully syncopated, are the essence of an original picture book, then Mrs. Lovewright and Purrless Her Cat is indeed a dazzling example."
-- Maurice Sendak

"Segal's telling is lyrical, remarkable; Zelinsky's illustrations are masterpieces of comic emotion."
--New York Daily News

"A brief, enchanting, alarming, and funny-profound children's book. Children in very large numbers will take to wonderful Purrless."
--New York Times Book Review

"Wonderfully idiosyncratic."
--Washington Post Book World

"Splendid...surprising...wistfully comic."
--Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

Mrs. Lovewright is sure that a cat is just what she needs until she acquires a cat that has a mind of its own.
