Alliecats: 53 Graphic Tales & Fun Puns About Cats

Mississippi said to Missouri, “If I put on my New Jersey, what will Delaware?” Virginia replied, “Alaska.” This wordplay on states’ names as vestments resembles the play and ambiguity in Alliecats , a wonderful collection of fifty-three graphic tales that catenate (link) meaning, sound, and likeness into clever puns. Novelist and literary critic BEN STOLTZFUS penned the introduction and assembled the words. His granddaughter ( cater-cousin ), ALLIE KIRSCHNER, drew the pictures. You will purr with satisfaction as she romps with feline grace, caterwauling from catalog to Catalina , although not without an occasional cataclysm or catastrophe . The purrposeful puns of Alliecats will amuse as you slide helplessly into a state of muscular rigidity, or catalepsy , while author and artist cater to your funny bone and make you laugh. —- ISBN: 9781946358257
