The Best Poetry for Cats
The Definitive Anthology of Distinguished Feline Verse
 by Henry Beard, Gary Zamchick (Illustrator)

Even if you don't like cats--or poetry--you'll be tickled by the contents of Henry Beard's Poetry for
Cats. Beard has already demonstrated his command of French in previous books, French for Cats and Advanced French for Exceptional Cats. Now he shows off his extraordinary skills as a parodist. Consider, for example, "Grendel's Dog," from "Beocat":

    . . . Then boasted Beocat, noble battle-kitten,
    Bane of barrow-bunnies, bold seeker of nest-booty:
    . . . I would lay the whelpling low with lethal claw-blows;
    Fur would fly and the foe would taste death-food . . .

These poems are fun even if you don't know the original sources; if you do, they are sublime.
