This is a great book for the poetry lovers you may know. Famous works (from Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy to "Death be not proud") are parodied as works by the original author's cats. The version of "The Raven" is absolutely hilarious. These poems follow the originals by meter and theme, and are very funny. Recommended for the cat lover and/or poetry lover in your life.
