Meet the cats on Grandmother?s farm in twelve delightful poems.
Countless cats live on Grandmother?s farm. They hide in the shade under the porch, prowl through the grass, doze in comfortable laps, vanishing as they please into the shadows. Meet B.P., a ?bad penny? who?s loyal to the bone, Mama Gray with her many kittens, and Buddha, the cat who might be a mystic, or might just be a cat. They make themselves at home, ruling the farm and the people who live there.
Poet Ruth Tiller captures the personalities and moods of each of her cats in clear, concise language easy enough for young readers, but with evocative imagery and varied rhythms that engage older readers as well. Laura Seeley?s soft and subtle cat portraits bring Tiller?s language to life while creating a beautiful, mysterious atmosphere.
