Wow--awesome review of the book was posted this week:  http://www.alident.org/2012/03/book-wrym-review-amy-shojai/ along with a truly fun author interview here: http://www.alident.org/2012/03/amy-shojai-the-purrr-fect-author/

I've also posted some of the SQUEEEEE! cute kitten pictures from the book on my own blog here: http://amyshojai.com/2012/03/27/cute-kitten-pictures-review/

The book is about more than cute-icity, though. You'll earn how to understand kitten language and "talk back" to them, train kittens, deal with behavior issues, and care properly for them. Oh, and there are fun cat legends and a boatload of further care tips/links. After all, it's nearly kitten season and I want y'all to be prepared!
