Simon Drew has compiled a series of poems, puns and drawings about cats seen frmo unusual angles. Whether they are strange, wicked, angelic or exotic these cats are always cats and never the little furry humans often depicted elsewhere. Why some of the cats do the things they do is anyone's guess, but in any case this book will intrigue, perplex and enlighten all at the same time.
This is Simon Drew's fifth book and is the first to concentrate so strongly on one subject. The others are 'A Book of Bestial Nonsense', 'Nonsense in Flight', 'Still Warthogs Run Deep' and 'The Puffin's Advice'. All have received enthusiastic acclaim and sold widely in the U.K. and the rest of Europe, U.S.A., Australia and New Zealand.

Cat with Piano Tuna and Other Feline Nonsense: Drawings and Verses Reviews
-
With the occasional nod in the direction of Edward Lear, Simon Drew has produced sparkling illustrations and verse depicting cats in unusual, and very often unlikely, situations. The result is a book that is a joy to read and admire.
My particular favourites are the cat who had a passion for Shakespeare (poor thing) and the French philosophical cat who had a sink on his/her head and stated, 'I sink and therefore I am.'
The cat with red paint tins on his/her head is a colourful image and the cat in the suburbs of Moscow is a scary sight! And there is much more ...
A real treat and great fun. -
The verse is nonsense (of course) but beautifully drawn.
