LBB CATS

Celebrate the wonder of cats in The Little Big Book of Cats, Welcome’s newest addition to the award-winning Little Big Book series. Cats are our best friends, our cleanest roommates, and our constant companions. Who else in our lives could be so loving and then turn so insolent, be so attentive and then so indifferent, and still win our hearts? Through their own shifting personas and emotions, cats continue to teach us more about ourselves than we could ever imagine. Without them we’d be lost. Without us, well, they’d probably be just fine.

The Little Big Book of Cats is a delightful treasury of stories, poems, fun activities, recipes, advice, tips, fun, and humor to indulge all cat-lovers. With the turn of each page, readers learn how to better understand, train (well, sort of), and pamper their feline friends with fun activities and treats, while literary excerpts, writings, and poetry from the brightest of cat-loving minds share the joys, awe, and challenges of befriending a cat (or two, or three, or four…). This purr-fect book includes:

Literary Excerpts and Stories: Renowned writers who love or have been fascinated by the cat seem endless: Lewis Carroll, Colette, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Alice Adams, Emile Zola, and Rainer Maria Rilke, among others. Fiction or non-fiction, each selection is as enchanting as its subject.

Living with Cats: For those just starting out on their new journey with a furry friend, basic information is provided from cat breeds to general cat care (from bathing your cat to giving kitty a massage!).

Poetry: There are so many odes in honor of beloved feline friends. Cat-lovers know why. In these pages are the best from greats such as Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot, Pablo Neruda, and W. B. Yeats.

Training and Tricks: Is it possible? Clicker training cats has gained much popularity in the past years. Give it a try!

Fun and Games: Kibble Dribble, Macaroni Hockey, Stair Bounce . . . keep Kitty on her toes with fun and games sure to amuse all involved.

Kitty Treats: Sardine Sandies, Catnip Snaps, Cheesy Bites and more are guaranteed to elicit satisfied purrs.

Feline Funnies: The other side of our regal, mysterious, and elegant friend is pure silliness. Enjoy the loveable, funny side of cat with pages of jokes, humor, and feline shenanigans.

Elie Wiesel

Elisha Wiesel

Elie Wiesel’s heartbreaking narrative poem about history, immortality, and the power of song, accompanied by magnificent full-color illustrations by award-winning artist Mark Podwal. Based on an actual event that occurred during World War II. It is the evening before the holiday of Purim, and the Nazis have given the ghetto’s leaders twenty-four hours to turn over ten Jews to be hanged to “avenge” the deaths of the ten sons of Haman, the villain of the Purim story, which celebrates the triumph of the Jews of Persia over potential genocide some 2,400 years ago. If the leaders refuse, the entire ghetto will be liquidated. Terrified, they go to the ghetto’s rabbi for advice; he tells them to return the next morning. Over the course of the night the rabbi calls up the spirits of legendary rabbis from centuries past for advice on what to do, but no one can give him a satisfactory answer. The eighteenth-century mystic and founder of Hasidism, the Baal Shem Tov, tries to intercede with God by singing a niggun—a wordless, joyful melody with the power to break the chains of evil. The next evening, when no volunteers step forward, the ghetto’s residents are informed that in an hour they will all be killed. As the minutes tick by, the ghetto’s rabbi teaches his assembled community the song that the Baal Shem Tov had sung the night before. And then the voices of these men, women, and children soar to the heavens. How can the heavens not hear?

Philip Larkin

One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Philip Larkin had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. Collected Poems brings together not only all his books--The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings, and High Windows--but also his uncollected poems from 1940 to 1984.

This new edition reflects Larkin's own ordering for his poems and is the first collection to present the body of his work with the organization he preferred. Preserving everything he published in his lifetime, the new Collected Poems is an indispensable contribution to the legacy of an icon of twentieth-century poetry.

Pillow Thoughts

In the deepest, most enchanting part of the forest, a creature hands you a seed. Within the seed is your soul, ready to be grown again.

From internationally bestselling author Courtney Peppernell comes her new book of poetry and prose, Watering the Soul. In true Peppernell style, the book is divided into sections, this time following a step-by-step recipe, to heal your soul. Filled with themes that focus on forgiveness, gratitude, togetherness, and equality, Peppernell takes you on a journey to find a precious yet profound understanding; that a seed is not grown with haste and nor is becoming whole, that in each and every step, we find the meaning of watering the soul.

This is the story of your soul and how it can be grown again.
