Energetic rhymed couplets relay how Mom and kids repeatedly bring home stray cats, driving Dad crazy . . . spirited cartoons depict animals and humans with amusingly exaggerated facial expressions . . . The buffoonlike father's antics should prove kid-pleasing." -- Publishers Weekly"This book expertly combines a comic, rhyming text with hilarious cartoon illustrations to create a completely enjoyable romp." --School Library Journal" That Cat Can't Stay [is] an absolutely adorable book and exactly how the Viorsts once wound up with four cats." --Judith Viorst"Parkins visualizes this comic opera with cartoon-like pen and ink and watercolor illustrations of cartoon-like characters displaying exaggerated behavior. Dad in particular is portrayed in lively vignettes." -- Children's Literature"He may rant and rave, but ultimately this softhearted dad lets the strays stay. David Parkins' hilariously detailed pictures add to the fun and the surprise ending." --Baltimore's Child"This is a funny book with a riotous rhyming text and illustrations . . . that seem to leap right off the glossy white pages in visual hyperbole.
