Kitty's A.B.C. Shape Book

by The Editors of Laughing Elephant Publishing

Overview

Kitty's ABC Shape Book is a reproduction of an 1890 book featuring cats and kittens in an alphabetic parade of charming adventures.  This eccentric tale of a beautiful "A for Angora" cat who overcomes jealousy and buckets of water to find love and happiness is beautifully illustrated with cats playing banjoes, getting married, singing in a choir, and many other whimsical activities.  This tender love story is highlighted with verses such as:  "T stands for Trouble now over and past, and The Triumph of True Tender hearts at The Last," and "V is the Vanity Fluffy displays, When on a Visit her kittens you praise."   The Victorians' love of cats is on full display in this fine addition to our popular series of shaped books.
