This little book is one of those few listed as a "Rare Book" by the U. S. Library of Congress, which means that finding an original printed copy would be very difficult and equally expensive. Nonetheless, Elisabeth F. Bonsall produced beautiful illustrations of cats in all kinds of poses, from resting to playing to screeching on the back fence at night. The short stories and verses that accompany the illustrations by Mabel Humphreys are charming, intended to hold a child's interest. It is a wonderful bedtime book.

This edition of the book contains all 14 original, high-definition illustrations, rejuvenated.

Elizabeth Fearne Bonsall (September 12, 1861 – September 25, 1956) was an American painter and illustrator. She illustrated The Book of Cats (1903), The Book of Dogs, The Pied Piper of Hamelin (1927), and other books. She created illustrations for Henry Christopher McCook's American Spiders and their Spinningwork. McCook credits her for making most of the illustrations for the volume. Bonsall also created illustrations for magazines. She won several awards for her works between 1885 and 1897.
