A short and simple book, more of a 'how I draw cats' than a 'how to draw cats'. It's a lovely book to pick up when unable to concentrate on anything else and admire the sketches and portraits of cats and kittens. Rereading it also helps me to better observe the cats I see around me. ( )

Book description
Clare Turlay Newberry has already charmed multitudes with her drawings of cats and kittens, and is the author of several children's books on the subject which have reached large sales.

In this book, which is introduced by the celebrated art-critic and author, Thomas Craven, she explains her methods and illustrates her sketches in infinite variety which discloses to the reader the secret of her success in capturing the very spirit and nature of her subject, and the variety of its poses.

Cat lovers, as well as every child, will delight in the illustrations, while amateur artists will find the work invaluable for its demonstration of possibilities.
