"It's rare that a poem not meant for a picture book translates so
smoothly into the form, but Macavity does, coming in at the perfect
length with ample opportunity for illustrations to help build out the
story. . . .Like Eliot's verses, [Robins's illustrations] present a
world of mischief and hilarity." The New York Times
"Robins has infused new life into the trickster cat." Kirkus Reviews
Macavity is one of the best-loved poems from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's
Book of Practical Cats - the inspiration for Cats: The Musical - beloved
by generations of children and their parents.In this sweet lift-the-flap
board book, tiny hands can search for the ginger cat Macavity. Is he in
the hen house? Or perhaps under the sofa cushions? Macavity's not there!
But where is Macavity? Children will squeal with delight as they try to
locate that scoundrel mystery cat.
To sit alongside other classics such as The Gruffalo, The Tiger Who
Came to Tea, and Spot.
