Three Wise Cats -- now, and for all time
Now is the time for Three Wise Cats. Or should I say the time has come again, for this pretty little book, which caused a minor sensation when it was first released. Based on the story of the wise men and the promise of the star that is known to Christian and non-Christian alike, the book is a retelling of that selfsame event but from the frame of reference of a trio of cats who have hitched a ride in the caravan.
The authors recreate that magical time through researched description and a languorous, hypnotic narrative pace, much like that of its protagonists. The cats riding in baskets on the camels and commenting on the events and human participants. Which is not to undereemphasize the adventures and excitement along the way!
Talking cats on the way to the Messiah? As created by Konstantelos and Jenkins-Brady this story is as much of a sustained piece of imagination as the Wonderland Alice found herself in, or the Narnia stories. And as would be corroborated by cat lovers all over the world, the mannerisms of the cats, their sensuous beings, delicate, gentle, licking ears, touching noses, has been perfectly observed and written.
And what better time than now as the Northern Hemisphere pulls out its autumn jacket and the Christian world begins its entry into the holy days, to think of things that matter, to think of gifts, this book its own precious gift, this jewel, that even a stone cold atheist would have to admit is a work of art, including a stunningly beautiful cover, and illustrated throughout (often whimsically). Three Wise Cats is the perfect literary ornament for any holiday reading tree. It will endure. (Now the question is: when will Berkley Penguin be releasing the sequel?
Great Gift
I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for a cat lover. She thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I got a play-by-play account of the story. Cute book! Transaction went smoothly. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again
A great feel-good Christmas read
This book is a great feel-good Christmas story for the whole family. It has adventures, suspense, learning experiences and of course a happy ending. Not as exciting as an adult adventure story but that is not what this book is about. I also appreciate that two of the three cats have black fur (black cats need more positive exposure) and that the angle cat is also black furred. All in all a good read which will leave you smiling and be an annual Christmas favorite.
Wise Cats and 3 Wise Men - A winner
A very novel and interesting way to experience the Christmas Story in a non-sectarian way. The basic Christmas story is the backbone, and is enhanced very competently by increasingly complex challenges to the 3 cats that are also on the same mission as the 3 Wise Men. It builds in suspense as one progresses through the book, to the point that you do not want to put it down. A pleasant and easy read.
A great heart-warming story!
Very well written.
