danicamidlil's review against another edition
4.0
Read this a few years ago but couldn't for the life of me remember the title. I've finally found it again!
It's one of my favorite "How the..." tales ever.

Delightful writing, and exceedingly expressive illustrations with details which reward a close look. It also gave me a good laugh, which I don't often get in a picture book!

This is a wonderful little book about a cat who was trying to be good.

I thought this was fun, and it didn't end how I expected at all. This is Lloyd Alexander's idea of how the cat got his purr - along the lines of a Kipling Just So story. The illustrations by Judith Schachner are a lot of fun as well - colorful and energetic. You can tell both the author and the illustrator are cat lovers.
