Book Reviews of Cats As Cats Can
Book Review: If Freud analyzed cats what would he see?
Summary: 5 Stars
So you say that my demure child would never think like that. Who knows what they have on their minds? Tomi Ungerer, a well-known illustrator and author of children's books, does. The cover illustration would make a great cross-stitch.
"I love to watch and draw animals, and cats are the one of my favorite subjects. At rest or in motion, these languorous, slinky, sinuous and sensuous. Wily and selfish creatures have been a constant source of inspiration throughout my life, and my observations of their behavior have resulted in hundreds of illustrations." - Tomi Ungerer
There are more words on the back cover then there is in the book as it is a series of highly stylized cats the way Freud would have seen them.
Summary of Cats As Cats Can
Acclaimed European artist and lifelong cat lover Tomi Ungerer captures the distinct characteristics of finicky felines in 140 color illustrations. In a style reminiscent of Gary Larson's personification of animals in "The Far Side, " Ungerer shows us the secret life of cats. This treasury of comic artwork will keep fans of humor--and of Ungerer's work--highly entertained.It's true, the world is divided between those who love cats and those who hate them. The former group can add Cats As Cats Can by prolific cartoonist, author, and illustrator Tom? Ungerer to the top of their feline-loving list of books. Cats As Cats Can is a collection of Ungerer's sketches, paintings, and cartoons, all in full color--it's 144 pages of pure cat. Pieces range from the silly to the surprised, from abstract strokes of ink to collages with postage stamps and envelopes. The excerpt from his 1983 Far Out Isn't Far Enough, a remembrance of his two beloved Burmese cats, is a fitting end to this lovely book. Ungerer writes, "cats are one of my favorite subjects. At rest or in motion, these languorous, slinky, sinuous and sensuous, wily and selfish creates have been a constant source of inspiration throughout my life."
