About the Book

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots. Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots. All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat: She sits and sits and sits and sits - and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat! But the Old Gumbie Cat gets busy at the end of the day, teaching and cooking, and getting the mice, cockroaches and beetles organised! The sixth gorgeous Cats picture book with lively and colourful illustrations by Arthur Robins.

About the Author :
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965. Arthur Robins is a renowned cartoonist and illustrator of over sixty books, including Little Rabbit Foo Foo.

Review :
Praise for MACAVITY: The Mystery Cat "It's rare that a poem not meant for a picture book translates so smoothly into the form, but Macavity does, coming in at the perfect length with ample opportunity for illustrations to help build out the story. . . .Like Eliot's verses, [Robins's illustrations] present a world of mischief and hilarity."--The New York Times "Robins has infused new life into the trickster cat." --Kirkus Reviews "Children and poetry lovers alike will delight in this picture book adaptation of Eliot's famous rhyming poem. Although Macavity the cat burglar often leaves behind a trail of fish bones and paw prints, he proves to be too elusive to capture. Milk and jewels are some of the feline's favorite items to snatch, much to the chagrin of the canines of Scotland Yard. Robins brings the feline to life with his whimsical watercolor drawings paired with a hand-drawn text. A paw or tail can be found escaping at the edge of every crime scene; however, children will delight in finding (and repeating aloud) that "Macavity's not there!" VERDICT This joyful read-aloud will make a fine introduction to young children who are learning about famous authors and poetry."--School Library Journal
