Book Review of The Owl and the Pussycat

The Owl and the Pussycat
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This a wonderful rendering of an age-old poem. I learned the poet from my grandmother. In her era children memorized literary works, because they were not given copies of the works to keep and/or use. My grandmother recited this poem, and many others, to me through my childhood. I learned them while listening to her. I told the poems and stories to my children and grandchildren. I gave this book to two little neighbor boys, who love literature as much as I do. They now love the poem as much as I have for a very long time.
