NY, Farrar Straus Giroux, 2nd pr., 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright price-clipped dust jacket. Color illustrations by Errol Le Cain. Previous owner's inscription front fly leaf. Three poems from Eliot's rollicking ode to felines, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, are gloriously and elegantly illustrated by Le Cain. ``Growltiger's Last Stand,'' ``Of the Awefull Battle of the Pekes and Pollicles,'' and ``The Song of the Jellicles'' spring to life with Le Cain's stylish paintings that match and extend each verse of the rich text. Sinister Siamese arranged in triangles represent Growltiger's foe ``armed with toasting forks and cruel carving knives''; chaos reigns as the Pugs and Poms ``Bark bark bark bark/ Bark bark BARK BARK/ Until you can hear them all over the Park''; suave black-and-white cats ``like to practice their airs and graces/ And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.'' The clean typeface and layout make Eliot's poetry take center stage framed by the wonderful illustrations.

NY, Henry Holt, 1st, 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Illustrated with color watercolor pictures by Ted Rand. This slim volume includes 19 poems about nature, including 8 about birds, all of which are illustrated with bold, realistic watercolor paintings. The poems describe animal appearance and behavior in natural, clear images that any nature-watcher can understand. The cardinal, for example, ``Tries not to look conspicuous/ In red, but doesn't quite know how,'' and the spaniels have ``Periscope tails and hairy feet.'' Several poems such as ``The Beaver, Alas'' are wry commentaries on human attitudes toward nature. The few poems which try for an arch tone (``Slothful the sloth is certainly noth'') are less successful. Rand's detailed close-up paintings of individual birds and animals and his more humorous montages of animals for poems such as ``At the Zoo'' balance beautifully with the text.
