In this charming collection, illustrated with works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, cats come to tea, lose their mittens, go to London to look at the queen, go to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat, and generally do as they "do do," in art and poetry. Poems by classic writers, including Emily Dickinson, William Blake, Vikram Seth, Kate Greenaway, Langston Hughes, and William Carlos Williams, are paired with cat images from around the world, including a court painting by Goya, a Currier & Ives lithograph, a Chinese hanging scroll, an ancient Egyptian figurine, an Arthur Rackham illustration, and a cabaret poster by Toulouse-Lautrec. Children and cat-lovers of all ages will enjoy meeting each one of these curious cats.
