Cute cute, but up-to-date and witty too. Four short chapters introduce us to Long Tail Kitty's home and friends, with lots of playing and silliness. Always domestic in scale, but suffused with little fabulousnesses like talking flowers that like cookies, and a tall mouse in a rasta hat. No surprises except for tiny surprises.
Luxuriously produced, on toothy ivory paper that makes Pien's watercolor and ink drawings look freshly painted just for you. Yummy.

Um... this is an odd little book. It's really cute at times, but overall kind of slight. I'm sure some kids will dig this, but I guess it just wasn't my thing.

The super-cute Long Tail Kitty shows off his hometown and introduces his friends in 5 short stories. I loved the illustrations just as much as Long Tail Kitty's sweet personality. My cat, who also has a really long tail, also enjoyed (sitting on) the book.

Adorable illustrations, but the stories are a bit too pointless to keep anyone over the age of two interested.

Cute 3 chapter graphic novel for young readers about a cat and his friends. The first one is how he met a bee, the next how he went skating with a mouse and the third about making no-worm stew for his friends.

Long Tail Kitty proudly shows off his hometown to the reader, encounters a bee and a field of talking flowers, ice skates on a pond with Good Tall Mouse, cooks up a feast with his neighborhood friends, and then entertains some friends from far away.
Pien’s delicately colored simple cartoons of the enthusiastic Long Tail Kitty’s childlike activities are a gentle and reassuring treat for young readers. Two pages at the end of the book show young artists how to draw Long Tail Kitty and his moods.
