Concerning Cats


(3 stars)

This is a delightful book for all cat lovers. The first reader, Patricia Oakley, read beautifully. Unfortunately the second reader really spoiled the book. She is not a native English speaker and mispronounced many words, which sometimes made it difficult to understand.
