Excerpt
Chester was a calico, lazy as could be
His only exercise was watching birds up in a tree
He'd eat his food, take a nap, and then he'd nap again
He rarely played with toys and hadn't many friends

My Review
By Lynda Dickson
This is the tale of Chester, the lazy calico cat, who loses his meow and searches for it everywhere. Will he get it back?
I found the rhyming verse to be labored and was annoyed by the lack of punctuation at the ends of lines. The illustrations by Helen H. Wu are perhaps a bit too realistic and do not engender sympathy for this cat. Chester is not a cute cat, and he appears to be hissing, rather than crying out. On the plus side, there is a lesson to be learned, and there are some interesting calico cat facts at the end of the book.
One for true cat lovers only.
