Eliot, T.S. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats illustrated by Axel Scheffler. 80 pgs. Harcourt Children's Books, 2009. $16.00. Language - G; Sexual Content - G; Violence - G. This book contains many poems about cats. These poems actually inspired the musical Cats. Most of the poems rhyme and tell a story at the same time. You will become familiar with Gumbie Cat, Growltiger, Rum Tum Tugger and many more. Their stories told in the form of poems are quite humorous. This wouldn't be a book that most kids would choose to read on their own, but they would like it if they were introduced to it. EL - ADVISABLE. Anna Mattheus
