Cats' Letters to Santa Reviews


  • Mayda

    If you ever wondered what your cat would like for Christmas, wonder no more. Bill Adler has enlightened us with numerous cat-wishes, charmingly illustrated by Paul Bacon. Cat lovers especially will enjoy this collection of letters, but everyone will appreciate the humor. Don't wait for Christmas to read it.

  • Chris

    Cute collection of letters that probably only a cat lover would enjoy! a quick 94 page read.

  • Diane in Australia

    One of the books in my daughter's Christmas collection.

    5 Stars = I love it for sentimental reasons.

  • Lorna

    "Yes, Whiskers, there IS a Santa Claus." I picked up this delightful little book on a discount table at Barnes & Noble after Christmas. Here are some sample letters:

    Dear Santa:
    Please leave under the Xmas tree a gift box wrapped in ribbon. The box can be empty. All I want is the ribbon.
    Love,
    Lulabelle

    Dear Santa:
    I would love a ticket to the circus so I can see the tigers. They're relatives of mine.
    Your friend,
    Stripes

    Dear Santa:
    I need a book on how to deal with a neurotic human.
    Thank you,
    Freud

  • Elizabeth Meadows

    This was a cute book. Some of the letters were funnier than others, of course. There were some that were a bit off-the-wall and random. I have to wonder if actual letters written by kids were used as inspiration for some of these.

  • Rachel

    This is a short book from the 90s. I found it cute, fun, and humorous.

  • Jim Razinha

    Cute little assemblage I found in a thrift shop filled with, well, (very short) letters from cats to Santa, with a few chuckles peppering the collection.

  • Jen

    Cute 😸Funny 😹 Meow! 😻

  • Mirtha Dominguez

    Made me laugh. Great book.

  • Megan

    Some of the letters in here were pretty cute. I just wish they had some letters in here signed by my cats (Sterling and Sabrina)!

  • Freyja

    The letters are utterly hilarious! I won't spoil the surprise.

  • Rachael Hall

    This book is kind of a bummer. It has a handful of good jokes.
    I wouldn't say it gets you into the Christmas spirit, but it's worth a read through.

  • Kristin

    I read this book on the same day as 'Pets' Letters To God', as they had a similar premise, though this one was specifically about cats and what they ask Santa for. The letters are somewhat brief, so the author views cats as the intellectual equivalent of a young grade school child. While I've not owned a cat myself, I've been told that those who do find them to be very intelligent, so their letters may be longer and more in depth than the author believes.
    Again, a fairly thin book that I read in 10-15 minutes that doesn't require very deep thinking. I would imagine that this book could be offered on the 'free' shelf of an eBook website, as it's a bit thin in content. Nonetheless, a cute and amusing read for both fans and non-fans of our feline friends.

  • Ellen

    Dear Santa,
    Can I have a bird feeder all my own? You can leave it in the window, the one that cranks open but has no screen.
    Thanks,
    Fuzzy

    Dear Santa Claus,
    I want a dead mouse so they will think I'm doing my job and get off my back.
    Thank You,
    Herman"

    These are just 2 of the humorous and imaginative letters written to Santa by his feline friends. Not all of the cats are nice but they will tickle your funny bone. The line drawing illustrations by Paul Bacon add an extra bit of whimsy to this little book. If you're a fan of cats (bet you couldn't tell that I am!) you'll enjoy this one.

  • Laima

    A cute little book filled with letters from cats to Santa including illustrations by Paul Bacon.
    Sample:

    Dear Santa,
    Please don't come down the chimney.
    It's very dirty.

    I know,

    I tried.

    A great Christmas stocking stuffer for cat lovers. I picked it up at a second hand shop for $1.50 - can't go wrong.

  • Pam

    While some of the letters were cute and a bit funny, I quickly got bored and never finished this book. I actually liked the illustrations by Paul Bacon the best. If you are looking for a holiday book for cat lovers, I recommend "Catmas Carols" by Laurie Loughlin and illustrated by Mary Ross.

  • Desiree

    Adorable

  • Emelia

    This book is really funny! My favorite letter is:

    Dear Santa:

    Does Weight Watchers have anything for cats?
    I'm so fat I even meow in slow motion.
    Denise

  • mishti

    Really funny =) A nice light read.

  • Michele

    Cute, simple read for Christmas! I read the book in less than 20 minutes, but owning cats I can understand the humor in this book. Something upper elementary or junior high kids will enjoy.

  • Anna Todd

    A very quick, cute read (even though cats are not among my favorite animals).
