versions pale beside U.K.’s, not just with To Be a Cat, but especially with The Humans. I’m intrigued by the variety of different covers one book may have. But I want the version with his cover art, not someone else’s. I’m eager to read this book, illustrated by Pete Williamson, whose quirky artwork I adore. Worst of all, he discovers that his life is in grave danger…and he doesn’t have eight lives to spare. He discovers that his own mother can’t see past the whiskers to recognize her darling son. He discovers that not all cats are cute and cuddly, and some of them are downright evil. It’s clearly much easier to be a cat than to be a middle school boy. So when Barney Willow wishes he could be a cat, and gets his wish, he should be thrilled. They laze in sun patches, are showered with affection by loving humans, can cough up hairballs wherever they want, and never have to wonder why their dad disappeared one day and never came back.
