While children may overlook the loving glances exchanged between the animals, adults reading along are sure to notice them and smile with remembrance. An endearing version that appeals to children and adults alike. Kirkus Reviews

While children may overlook the loving glances exchanged between the animals, adults reading along are sure to notice them and smile with remembrance. An endearing version that appeals to children and adults alike.--Kirkus Reviews This classic poem has proved to be irresistible to generations of illustrators...expertly rendered and every bit as rich as earlier interpretations. A fanciful addition.--School Library Journal Much loved since its publication in 1871, Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussy-cat returns in a fresh edition accompanied by Charlotte Voake's loose, lively watercolors.--The Wall Street Journal
