Produktbeschreibung

Mississippi said to Missouri, "If I put on my New Jersey, what will Delaware?" Virginia replied, "Alaska." This wordplay on states' names as vestments resembles the play and ambiguity in Alliecats, a wonderful collection of fifty-three graphic tales that catenate (link) meaning, sound, and likeness into clever puns. "Alliecats is an absolutely delightful book." −Juliet Flower MacCannell, Professor Emerita, UC Irvine Novelist and literary critic BEN STOLTZFUS penned the introduction and assembled the words. His granddaughter (cater-cousin), ALLIE KIRSCHNER, drew the pictures. You will purr with satisfaction as she romps with feline grace, caterwauling from catalog to Catalina, although not without an occasional cataclysm or catastrophe. The purrposeful puns of Alliecats will amuse as you slide helplessly into a state of muscular rigidity, or catalepsy, while author and artist cater to your funny bone and make you laugh.
