The tales of Mr. Mistoffelees the trickmaster, old Deuteronomy, a laid-back cat, Rum Tum Tugger, a contrary cat, and Macavity, the famous master criminal, are dramatized by Richard Briers, Alan Cumming, Nigel Davenport, Andrew Sachs, and Juliet Stevenson. Unfortunately, some material is repeated on the cassette's second side. Moreover, it comes with another tape that consists of excerpts of forthcoming Penguin audiobooks. This edition seems targeted more toward consumers than libraries. James Dudley, Copiague, N.Y.

    ols possum's book of practical cats

    i purchased this book for my neice. she enjoyed the plkay and music so much we hope the book would be a great it. it was she really enjoyed that the songs and wording were there. she has written the words of songs by repeatedly listening to the recordings but she was simply delighted to see them in actual print in the book. this gift when along with a cd of the stage play she was thrilled. it is awesome when we can get great gifts for twelve year olds that actually hit the mark.

    Amazing

    I love this book. If you like the musical CATS, then reading it's inspiration makes it even better.

    Great fun.

    I enjoy it very much. I can see why Lloyd Webber wanted to turn this into a musical.
