This hilarious collaboration by a trio of related writers and illustrators is sure to please any cat lover. The antics of Pooka (the cat for and about whom all the haiku are written) will have you laughing and undoubtedly recognizing at least a few of the idiosyncratic behaviors of your own beloved feline, as Pooka attempts to instruct his staff with a complex series of vocalizations and reactions to whatever impertinence he is forced to endure. Through simple poetry and a comedic style of illustration, some of Pooka's daily escapades and misadventures are revealed. Includes 35 original haiku with accompanying black and white drawings (also suitable for kids to color), writer and illustrator bios, a translation of KittySpeak (Glossary of "Mwow"s), 14 color photos, and reviews by Sunny Cat, Sadie The Wonder Dog, and the 5-cat team of Tampa, Spanky, Rosie, Sweet Pea and Daisy. The sequel, Haiku for Pooka: Postcards from Hawaii, is currently being edited and illustrated. More books in this series will follow. Written by retired PhD in Education Michael Marquardt, his Library Goddess wife Heidi, and his multi-talented artist sister Jayme. Illustrated by Heidi (mistress of the quick sketch) and Jayme (drawer of silly cats).
