Before we really start this post, please take this short
quiz:
- Do you like Star Trek?
- Do you like cats?
If you answered “yes” to both questions, then have we got a
book review for you! We were excited recently to discover the small book Star Trek Cats, by illustrator Jenny
Parks. What it is, is a collection of illustrations of scenes from the original
series, with cats standing in for the actors. Before you go off and start
thinking this is weird, let me just tell you…Captain James T. Kirk is such an orange tabby!
We were a little bit disappointed to find that there is no
actual story in this book, but we still have had plenty of fun looking through
the pictures. Jenny Parks’s illustrations are so well done, it is hard to stop
looking at them. We keep going back through the
book and finding details we missed the first or third time through. Cat
lovers who are also fans of the show will enjoy recognizing certain moments:
Spock’s mind meld, everyone falling down during a red alert, McCoy insisting he’s
“just an old country doctor.”
And yes, there are tribbles.
Highly recommended for that segment of our readership who
passed the quiz at the start of this post!
A
note on the "Paws Up" system: Miss C gives either one or two paws up.
One paw is for a good read; two paws is for a great read. She never gives three
or four paws because that would require her to lie on her back...and Miss C does not do that!

ReplyDeleteMost of what I know of Star Trek is what I've heard from others ... but this is really cool!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I've been seen an episode of Star Trek??? Still, I think this book sounds adorable!
