Garfield is a cat that can talk to his owner named John. Garfield is the problem because he mistreats his owner. Also in his book called Garfield on town. It is were he meats his mother he doesn't like how they live thou. He also gets in trouble with gang cats. So they come for him and his family. Will they get him or will he get away? Find out by reading Garfield on town. The author's message is it's ok to have some fun. Also it's good to laugh a little. It is in our class's top ten list because it is very very funny book. Also it has a talking funny cat that is fat.

won't dissapoint anyone with any sence of humour 5 out of 5 stars.

I'm now on page 24 and can say for sure that this book is a masterpiece and Jim Davis is a genius! There is not a big number of good comics in the world and Garfield is one of them. The book is large and sure is worth your money. But if you don't like reading books that make you feel happy, this one is not for you.

Editorial Review:

Witty, urbane, sassy, and downright delightful, here are the first three original books of pure Garfield collected in one packed volume. They tell the story of the feisty feline's birth, adoption, and growth into general wonderfulness---just in case you've forgotten --and remind us why we loved him like we do.

Don't buy it with 'Cat vs Cat'! 3 out of 5 stars.
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I have a multicat household and one of my kitty has a socialization problem while there is a predator in the house and one that is being continuously picked upon.
I bought two books thinking 'Twisted Whiskers' will help me solve the former while the 'Cat vs. Cat' will help me solve the latter.
It turns out that these two books are almost identical. They have same chapters with some updates on the 'twisted whiskers'.

"Twisted Whiskers" fixes your crazy cat. 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I found "Twisted Whiskers" to be very helpful. I originally purchased the book for my son to help with his kitten's behavior issues but, after receiving the book and reading through it I found advice in it that helped with my four cats who are between ages 6 and 17. I found you can teach an old cat new tricks! I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with cat issues.Twisted Whiskers: Solving Your Cat's Behavior Problems

Editorial Review:

Twisted Whiskers will not only help owners change undesirable behavior, they'll also rediscover the relationship they've always wanted with their cat. For new cat owners, this book is a must.

A warm and funny book 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I'm actually a dog person and not a cat person, but picked up this little book for my son's fiancee. We have been adopted by a cat, as has she, and ALL of this little book rang true. I was surprised, being a dog person, that it made me laugh out loud loads of times. I've since purchased three more copies for other cat people. Garfield it isn't; quirky, funny and observant it is.

Editorial Review:

Celebrated comic artist and graphic novelist Jeffrey Brown's collection of all-new drawings sweetly illustrates the joys of living with a cat. Featured in McSweeney's and on NPR's This American Life, and praised by comic luminaries Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes, Brown's work has always paid tribute to felines as they curl up on couches and purr on the peripheries of his autobiographical stories. Cat Getting Out of a Bag follows his cat Misty really, any cat as she goes about her everyday activities and adventures. In a series of drawings, Brown perfectly captures the universal charm of cats in a lovely book sure to please fans and cat lovers of any stripe.

Not So Good on Correcting Improper Behavior 4 out of 5 stars.
14 of 15 people found this review helpful.

I like this book for it's teaching methods concerning positive techniques, for example, teaching a cat to do tricks. It has good step by step instructions for novice cat trainers to use. But the book falls far short in the section called "Correcting Improper Behavior." The author almost seems to assume that you'll be present, for example, every time kitty jumps on the counter, & that's just not going to be the case for most people, especially working people. The author suggests correcting improper behaviors by hissing at your cat while using a water pistol. I've tried it, & it doesn't work. Part of the problem is that when you see your cat doing something undesirable, you have to go & get the water pistol. By that time, the cat's finished with the behavior & it's too late to follow the procedure. I don't tend to walk around the house with a water pistol in my hand or pocket all day long, & many times, kitty silently surprises me with what he's doing. Another option is to keep a water pistol in every room, also not practical! In addition, many people want to buy a book such as this one to halt improper behaviors, & there are very few such behaviors covered in this book. So for the positive approaches, it's a good book, but it's not sufficient for dealing with improper behaviors.

Editorial Review:

A popular cat expert and award-winning author of four books on feline behavior reveals the key to a satisfying and rewarding relationship with your cat.

Think it's impossible to train a cat? Think again! Yes, you can learn to understand your cat. No, cats are not always aloof. No, they don't ruin furniture out of spite. Most often feline "misbehavior" is the result of owners not understanding their cat's needs. In this comprehensive book that takes readers through every step of cat ownership, Pam Johnson-Bennett helps you understand the instincts that determine feline behavior, positive and negative. An authoritative resource for cat owners of all stripes, Think Like a Cat covers everything from where to get a kitten to choosing a vet; from basic health care to treating more serious medical problems; from selecting an irresistible scratching post to avoiding litter box problems. A seasoned therapist and former veterinary technician, Johnson-Bennett offers welcome advice in a straightforward manner that will help cats--and their owners--share a happy, healthy life together.

Johnson-Bennett's first book, Cat Love, was chosen by Cat Fancy magazine as one of the best books ever published on cats.

A Different Sort of Travel Guide: Fascinating Park Trivia 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This latest Uncle John publication proclaims on its back cover "It's time to hit the Trail!" Hit the history books is more like it. This wonderful little volume is full of fascinating trivia about the national parks and monuments found in the US and Canada. Each chapter is brief enough to be read during a single trip to the throne room of your house, and for the most part the prose is enjoyable enough to keep you coming back. Favorite stories for me were "The Great Pig War" in which the US and England nearly managed to go to war over a dead pig (San Juan Island National Historic Park) and the Mojave National Preserve's "lonely phonebooth."

For the most part the history and folklore seemed accurate enough, though the authors did slip a little when they wrote that Ansel Adams had saved King's Canyon with pictures of its Giant Sequoia Grove. There is no such grove in King's Canyon proper. General Grant Grove is now administered as a part of King's Canyon National Park, but it has been protected since 1890. In any event, King's Canyon was preserved because it so closely resembled Yosemite. On the other hand, virtually every other element of the book is accurate. Indeed, this is one of the few sources I have ever read that correctly notes Hot Springs Arkansas is the oldest National Park, dating back to 1835, long before the Yosemite Grant or the creation of Yellowstone National Park.

So, by all means get this rather unusual travel guide. It probably won't help much with actual trip planning, but it is nice for whiling away the time between trips: especially that portion of the time when you are otherwise preoccupied.

Editorial Review:

Featuring the BRM’s trademark trivia, fun facts, amazing origins, and unknown histories, this book dips into every national park, monument, site, and trail (more than 150 in all), exploring such exciting phenomena as Yosemite’s firefall and the wild horses of Assateague, along with practical strategies for dodging that rampaging bear or moose. Printed in backpack- or pocket-friendly size with sturdy, waterproof cover, this brisk guide is ideal for both the outdoors type and those who prefer to travel by armchair — or throne.
