Cats and Carols by Lesley Anne Ivory is filled with vibrant, Christmas-themed backgrounds in which her beautifully realistic cats play, cuddle, nap, and pose. In fact, there is one picture of a fuzzy yellow kitten, named Dandelion, napping on a patchwork Christmas quilt. I have been collecting fabrics in order to replicate the quilt. For each cat portrait there is a Christmas carol; some have more verses than I knew existed! This is a wonderful book! If you love Christmas, and/or cats and/or Christmas carols, I highly recommend this book!

This is a lavishly illustrated picture book with a gorgeous layout: each 2-page spread features the text of a Christmas carol (with all the verses, not just the familiar ones) with decorative initial letters and a lovely border on the left page; the facing page contains a painting (with matching border) of a cat or cats in a setting that illustrates the carol. Although the settings are fantastical, the paintings are realistic rather than cartoonish or childish in any way, so that the cats look absolutely real. Both adults and childrens can enjoy this beautiful book.
