Josephine - Paperback

by Laurence Avery (Author), Patricia Lockwood Davis (Illustrator)

Every cat deserves a collection of poems written in her honor, but few are fortunate enough to have so eloquent a laureate as Laurence Avery. Josephine's self-described "attendant" chronicles with wit and warmth the details of her life in both indoor and outdoor worlds. Avery sets the tone from the very first line of the opening poem: "She's in the class of things I dote on..." then reveals in the final poem how Josephine acquired her regal name. Patricia Lockwood Davis' beautiful illustrations pair perfectly with the verse to reflect the many sides of Josephine's personality.

Josephine is Avery's second collection of poetry.
