Did You Kiss A Cat Today???

"I love this book! It makes me want to be a child again, or to adopt my children again, or to borrow someone else’s child, or to read the poems to my dog and my cats. And why stop there? I want to read these poems to everyone I meet, because they are full of joy. Joy in language, joy in imagination, joy in mixing the “real” and “fantasy” worlds, joy in telling stories. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so much happiness in poem world. Even the monster under my bed will love hearing me read them out loud in the dark. Maybe then we’ll be friends."—Susan M. Schultz, poet, critic, and publisher

“The diversity of styles kept me involved, and I found myself reading the entire book in one sitting. The poems evoked a variety of sensations—feelings, memories, images, whimsy, and daydreams. They made me want to pick up canyons and draw, or pick up a pen and write. The poems are enjoyable to read alone for solo reflection, to read with a parent or friend,  or to discuss in a classroom or library setting. May this wonderful collection spread far and wide, and tickle the imaginations of children.” —Janice Buckner, Certified Teacher and HS National Touring Children’s Performer: Song & Puppetry
