"The Book of Purrs" is a cute collection of comics about cats. There are silly panels about how cats look super sweet and then bite you, and encouraging panels that rhyme and are "feel good" thoughts, like "you are perfect the way you are". It is very short, only 98 pages, and you can easily read in a few minutes. The illustrations are super adorable and the cats are drawn very fluffy with huge eyes in a very unique style. The book is a great mood booster, as each panel aims to either make you laugh or bring a positive spin to your day.

My only negative thought about this is that many of the comics were repetitive; I think there were around 4 that centered around cats biting, and many that were pretty much the same "positive rhyme" and for such a short book I think the repetition in unnecessary. I wish there were more of a variety of silly panels.

I would recommend this book for cat lovers, people who love cute illustrations of cats, and people who want an uplifting book to just sit down with for a few minutes here and there. 4/5 stars

Thank you to netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I always love these kitty memes so of course I was excited about this book. And it did not disappoint!

It’s filled with absolute cuteness. You have all the kitties with their big eyes (which remind me of my kitty Jazzy!) and every kitty has either a sweet or a funny saying.

I think this book would be a wonderful present for everyone who loves cats, regardless of their age. I could just as easily get this for my niece as for my mom.

I got to read an early ebook edition on NetGalley. Thank you!

Adorable art, and by turns humorous & inspirational. The art does get a bit repetitive, sometimes repeating frames, or even full pages changing only the captions, and some of the "motivational" bits are a bit trite.

Best read, as the forward recommends, taking in a single comic strip at a time, not in a single sit.

This book is a precious mix of silly cats biting or being too nosy as well as affirmations for tough days. Some of the sentiments do get repetitive, but the point of the book isn't necessarily to be read linearly, but rather to open it up when you need a pick me up. The cats' dialogue is also a bit stilted at times, but cats don't speak English anyway.
