Disappointing.......2006-01-09
There were a few enjoyable stories but it is definitely not worth buying. It seems like the authors didn't have enough material for a book but wrote one anyway. I was done with it in an hour.
very disappointing.......2005-07-28
I have bought the other chicken soup for animal lovers in this series and was very pleased with them, this one is another matter. The book is small, only a very few stories and I read the whole thing in about an hour. For anyone looking for a good animal book pass this one by.

Great stories, the only complaint is that the book is too short.
Customer Reviews:
Makes a great gift.......2004-11-29
This quick-read makes a perfect gift for the woman who really does love cats too much -- like me. It is thoughtful and it delivers a chuckle on every page, and the illustrations are cute. A lot of the points made in the book will really hit home for cat lovers.
A must read for all Cat lovers!.......2002-08-12
This book was HILARIOUS>^..^
< I am an admitted Cat-aholic so I could totally relate to this book. Especailly since I spent 3 hours putting a perch together for them yesterday before I read the book:-) Nothing is too good for my furrbabies!
Hi. My name is Kathy, and I'm a Cat-oholic..........2001-02-20
As I sit here in the middle of the night typing this, my cat sits on my lap as she purrs away and I hit the keyboard while my elbows are uncomfortably extended out straight...of course I won't bend them...I wouldn't want to disturb my baby. She's comfortable. Thank you Allia for letting me know that there are others out there and I am not alone. At last, group therapy may be available!!!
If your wallet contains a photo of your cat or perhaps if the feline decides what's for dinner tonight, then get this little book. You will laugh and laugh. The full-color illustrations are funny as they depict you and I too well! Many meows to you all.
This book is a laugh a page!.......1999-02-27
No matter how many times I read this book, I always LOL (Laugh Out Loud) -- maybe because it's so true!
Book Description
A tender ode to unconditional love.
A little girl asks the same question she must ask every night before drifting off to sleep...who loves me?
The result is a soothing and tender good–night tale brimming with heart, in which a little girl learns of the enormous love that surrounds her. Beloved author Patricia MacLachlan gives voice to that most elemental need, the need for love.
Newbery Medal winner Patricia MacLachlan's words are brought to life by Amanda Shepherd's playful and exquisitely painted illustrations. This inspired book of unconditional love and reassurance has all the makings of a classic.
Ages 4 – 8

A story about unconditional love........2006-09-27
Nicely dialogued story between a girl and her cat regarding family, pets and friends loving you even if you are cranky. Unconditional love is expressed here through soft orange and warming yellow watercolors. The pictures look professional even though they have a hint of crayon look to them as if a child helped to design this book-it adds to the story. This book gives you a sunny happy feeling great to share with children.
Assurance kids need.......2005-11-18
Sadly the negative, bitter review I read on this book speaks volumes of parents who forget that children need assurance that they are loved. To the reviewer that wrote it was not for them, I think it really was for you. You have a child, who needs love. This book is only a sample of ways we as adult can assure our children we love them. Your situation is no different from everyone else. The book is merely a landscape you can paint the ways you love her and who in your famil loves her.
I found the book to be warm and rich in color. The pictures with the words were like being rocked to sleep, as bedtime stories do. I found it a good book to answer the childrens fears in a world full of hate, violence and craziness, who loves me? This is a well written and beautifully illustrated book to assure children they are loved. Thanks for the book! I have made sure my nieces and nephews and grandkids all have this book.
Not For Us.......2005-08-03
I echo the faint criticism of the review re: contrasting the bright "angular" (euphemism for "the girl looks like Boy George after putting his finger in a socket") artwork with the bedtime purpose. They're at cross-purposes. My main criticism is this: I'm not building a playhouse for my daughter. My wife isn't planting her flowers. Our daughter's grandmas are dead and very old, and grandpa ain't teaching her about fish in the pond ("where's OUR pond, Daddy?"). She doesn't own a dog or have a brother or cousins she plays with (poor deprived kid!). How is this going to play with my daughter? I'm sorry if I'm violating the kid-gloves review rule that seems to prevail for children's books, but I'm returning this one and think others should know why. No offense. I'm sure many folks would enjoy this book. (PS: I purchased Sleepy Cadillac and Russell the Sheep at the same time and my daughter (age 2 1/2) cannot get enough of them.)
[And sorry if "I'm sure many folks would enjoy this book" strikes someone as bitter and negative. Anyway, to the pedantic, pompous and presumptuous among you... I'm off to tell my kids I love them (without the aid of this book.) Signed, Sad, Pathetic Dad to Unlucky Children.]
very sweet.......2005-05-26
As a little girl gets ready for bed she ask her kitten an important question. She asks it "Who Loves Me? " The kitten tells her of all the people and animals that love her and why. From the mouse to her cousins and friends animals and humans alike have their own special reason for loving the little girl!
When you read it aloud it sounds almost like a song.
This story would make a great bedtime tale. All kids need to be told who loves them each and every day!

Customer Reviews:
Funny and unbelievably true!.......2001-06-09
I picked up this book to browse through at an attorney's office while my husband and I were waiting to close on our home loan. Ten minutes is all the time I had to skim through it, however,that was enough to know that I must get this book for 2 family members for Christmas or birthday. It is truly a cat lover's book.
Laugh Out Loud -- NOT!.......2000-05-22
I do love my cats too much but I don't need a non-cat person to tell me that. I couldn't quite put a finger on it at first until I realized the obvoious: Ronnie Sellers is not a cat person. That much I derived from the "about the author" page. He does not even profess to be a cat lover at all. This book is but a compilation of anecdotes from cat lovers from all over. Sellers says the idea of doing this book came from a cat person he met in a book shop. That woman should have been the proper author of this handbook. Jennifer Reinhardt could probably do it being a cat person herself. What remarkable talent! I found her illustrations funnier and more effective than the text that accompanied it. Each illustration captured what every cat owner (or cat owned human) has probably gone through. I give her illustrations five stars. I was thinking of returning this book but I decided to keep it anyway if only for Ms. Reinhardt's hilarious drawings.

Whom do you love?.......2001-06-15
This is a charming, cozy book, marred only by its repetition of bad grammar. The author and publishers (what are editors for?) have missed an opportunity to fix the correct form in the minds of children and parents everywhere, and to have it associated with a smiling, shared secret pleasure. No rhyme or rhythm would have been destroyed by saying "Whom do you love?" instead of "Who do you love?" Quite the contrary, in fact: the m of whom lends a certain delicious quality to the question. If you are reading to a non-reader, and can substitute whom for who without detection, this is recommended bedtime reading; if not, skip it.
Charming and fun.......2000-04-13
We love Martin Waddell's books, particularly the ones that have touched our hearts and tickled our funny bones (Once There Were Giants, The Big, Big Sea, The Pig in the Pond). This book fits right in! My daughter, now 3, is at the stage where she loves mama "best of all." And the delightful teasing in this bedtime story gave her a new way to play that game! We are thrilled to find another Waddell book that we hadn't read!

Book Description
This fascinating approach to sundials offers a rigorous appraisal of the science of sundials, including mathematical treatment and pertinent astronomical background. It also provides a nontechnical treatment simple enough that several of the dials can be built by children. 106 illustrations.
Customer Reviews:
For the dial-builder.......2004-03-29
No other book, as far as I know, gives such clear detail about making your own sundials. That word seems so narrow; Waugh covers much more of solar time-telling than just dials. One thing that amazes me is his passion. He writes with clear pride about his own sundials, good to within (he says) ten seconds!
This book covers graphical or analytic techniques for laying out sundials on just about any surface that doesn't move, horizontal, vertical (facing any direction), slanted, or even the ceiling. He also discusses the movable kind, like a "shepherd's dial". It has nothing inherently to do with sheep, but can be used anywhere, even without knowing true north.
The historian may be disappointed. This is not a catalogue of sundials through the ages, although bits of history are scattered throughout. In one sense, though, this is a view into the time of its writing (1973). A modern reader, with access to modern calculators and computers, will be amused if not puzzled by some of tricks used to make hand computation more feasible. I don't know anyone any more who multiplies by adding logs, and the circumlocutions around negative logarithms look positively quaint. The only real flaw in this book is its systematic omission of half the world: the southern hemispehere. It wouldn't have been so hard to add just a paragraph or two about sundials that work "backwards".
Although this book celebrates the craft and art that can go into a sundial, its real value is technical. This book gives the essential methods for the functional side of a solar time-piece; bring your own artistry.
Overall the best available sundial text........2002-03-19
I have read and viewed the major English language texts on Sundials. These being 1.Waugh, 2. Mayall & Mayall, and 3. Rohr.
The Waugh text has good, mostly clear, intructions and gives both graphical and equation based methods of constructions. Mayall and Mayall perhaps has better graphical constuctions but Waugh excells in the variety of tables in the appendix. Waugh also has the clearest explanation of determining the declination of a wall. This is very important as many buildings are aligned along magnetic north (& south & east &west) rather than true north ( south etc...).
A shortcoming of the almost every book including Waugh, is the lack of clear instruction on how to draw other types of hours. Most importantly of these interesting alternatives types of hours are babylonian and Italian hours. These hours are still useful today. So far I've only found the Rohr text to have any attempt of explaining how to draw these lines. However the Rohr text simply doesn't match the clarity and breadth of Waugh and Mayall and Wayall.
Waugh (and Mayall and Mayall) both could do with an update on trigonometry. With the easy availability of scientific calculators, the need for log versions of equations and the use of things like "cot" functions is not needed and simply makes the calculations clumsy to perform on a key pad.
The book by Cousins is an excellent higly detailed text if you can get it, but it seems to be out of print. It is useful if you really want to get into the maths of spherical geometry and it wouldn't be the best book you'd want to read first. It makes you appreciate the wonderful elegance of the graphical solutions but it may convince you that it is all too hard when it actually isn't in a practical sense. Just about anyone can make a simple sundial.
The text by Rohr also has a good section on how to do hour lines on just about any shaped surface (bowl, sphere, plane etc..) if you have a rod for a gnomen. This is about the only strength of this text over the others.
So to conclude Waugh would be the best first text, very closely followed by Mayall and Mayall, then Rohr. The text by Cousins is excellent but at a much higher level that isn't needed for the construction for the standard types of dials.
Definitely a classic..........2002-01-07
I agree with the other reviewers...This is a very clear and concise treatment of the theory and practice of sundial construction. It is a very easy read, (anyone over the age of around 12-13 should have no difficulty with it at all,) and entertaining to boot! It has a few items that some of the other 'classics' on sundials do not. (Rene Rohr,s book "Sundials:History, Theory and Practice" and Mayall & Mayall's "Sundial's:Their Construction and Use".) The only thing this book really misses, (and the same holds true for virtually every book on sundials!) is the link between sundials telling time, and their potential use for navigation. Apart from that, this is a great book, and I highly recommend it.
Best book on sundials I've ever seen.......1998-08-30
This book not only covers everything from time itself to noon marks to fancy sundials, it is well written and fun to read - a rare combination in a "technical" book.
The all-time classic work on dialing........1998-07-25
Albert Waugh's "Sundials: Their Theory and Construction" is a veritable treasure-house of information on the ancient science of gnomonics. As a dedicated dialist of several years, I never could have achieved such wonderful results without Waugh's classic book. The work presents the art of building sundials from two perspectives: for the advanced dialist, Waugh's book approaches the theory from a highly complex, mathematical viewpoint, including some aspects of celestial mechanics; for the average "do-it-yourself-er", Waugh presents several projects that are simple and well-explained. Accompanying this fine work is a collection of solar tables, astronomical information, and various data of inestimable value that would alone justify the purchase price of the book. So whether your purpose is to further your technical interest in the fascinating science of gnomonics, or merely to build an attractive sundial for your garden over the weekend, "Sundial! s: Their Theory and Construction" should be in your collection. It is considered the very "bible" of dialmaking. I couldn't brag about it more had I written it myself!
