The subtle wit and gentle satire of award-winning
writer, Barbara Florio Graham, is back to back with her
celebrity cat, Simon Teakettle, in a clever flip book designed to
"a-muse" readers of all ages.
Barbara's satiric pieces on writing and teaching are coupled
with several of her award-winning humorous poems as well as witty
comments on living with the "classy cat in the black fur tuxedo."
Mewsings
includes many of Simon's "Last Meow" pieces from Cats
Magazine as well as a selection of his writings for radio and other media.
This 80-page book has laminated front and back covers, as well as
a pull-out "centrefold" of Simon sprawled on a fur
rug. A purrfect gift!

"Furby
likes to get his nose into a good book!"
(from
Colecoon Maine Coon Cats, Buffalo, NY)
I just
wanted to say how much I enjoyed your book!
I was so
busy that I could only read it in bits and pieces
but once
I was finished, I was very impressed.
You have
an obvious talent and I hope you do well with sales.
I've
placed the books on a shelf with my cards, right beside the cash,
so
hopefully people will be motivated to pick it up and start reading!
(Anne
Wooley, owner of Cats R Us)
Love the
book and the other cool cat-word things you do.

It was
such a treat reading Mewsings/Musings,
what a
fun and thought provoking book.Jo-Ann L. Tremblay, Potenials
Management
I have
pawed through a lot of cat books,
but
Mewsings/Musings is the cat's meow.
It's
purrfect for those long winter nights
when I
like to curl up on a warm lap.
(Emma and
her human partner,
Dennis
McCloskey, author of God's Jesters)
Mewsings/Musings's
perky prose and pert images are a delight.
I highly
recommend this little volume as the perfect gift
for
friends who share our passion for pussycats.
(Shirley
Hewett, author of The People's Boat: HMCS Oriole)
great
photos...pithy and compelling...could not put it down
(Nathalie
Nordstrand, Reading, Mass.)
I had
the pleasure of reading Mewsings/Musings yesterday.
Ultimate pleasure.
You are
a great writer and your mind is like that of a child--
you have
so much fun when you write.

Two
thumbs and four paws up for Mewsings/Musings
by
Barbara Florio Graham and Simon Teakettle!
Their
observations on life brought tears of laughter to my eyes.
The
author and I share a love for collecting stones,
so her
piece called “Rocks” felt warm and familiar.
I loved
the "Rules for Cats" – now I understand the careful
calculation behind the endearing poses my four kitties regularly assume.
Pour
yourself a cappuccino and spend a delightful afternoon with this
lovely book, preferably with a kitty curled up on your lap.

It is
truly a work of art, and,
among
other things, a coffee table book
(Bobbi

(Judy

deft and
witty, and chock-full of lighthearted anecdotes...
I
laughed out loud...
Barbara
Graham is an intelligent and quick-witted prose stylist...
