We are a cat family, and because most cats act similarly, it was easy enough to picture any of our several cats in the poems or pictures that make up this book. The title is interesting, considering I'm only familiar with the church word "Catechism," but that one word can be overlooked. Of course, my daughter, who is a cat-lover, loved the book, and having studied a section on poems at school already, she noticed various types of poems in the book.
