What if Eric Carle had written his famous kid’s book about A Very Hungry Cat?
Over at Abe Books, a satirical essay reimagined the covers of 18 popular books to feature cats.
These cats now grace the covers of A Tale of Two Kitties (Charles Dickens‘ A Tale of Two Cities), Lord of the Fleas (William Golding‘s Lord of the Flies) and The Girl with the Kitten Tattoo (Stieg Larsson‘s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). What other books could use this theme?

Author Joanne Levy shared a picture of her real life Galley Cat: “Recently, I got a copy of Caroline Starr Rose’s MAY B., which my cat Chester did not want to give up. I forced the issue and was finally able to read the book, but not before it received a lot of kitty love (well deserved – the book is awesome!).”

We would like to invite all GalleyCat and eBookNewser readers to join our annual holiday pet parade. Email us pictures of your pets for our photo spread.

Here’s more from Hogan’s original post: “Every year around this time, GalleyCat invites publishing industry professionals (including published authors) to send us pictures of your cats, dogs, and other pets—preferably either engaged in holiday cheer or something book-related. (See here for examples from last year’s holiday season.) Be sure to tell us a little something about you and your pet”

Hal Leonard Performing Arts publicity and marketing manager Diane Levinson sent that photo of Boomer the GalleyCat: “When Diane works at home (which she does a couple of days a week), Boomer loves to sit on the bench cushion right next to the computer where he can keep an eye on what she’s up to and occasionally ask for a belly rub. In this pic, taken a few weeks ago, he’s hanging out next to some current books Diane is working on—The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, December 8: 1980, and Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas–plus the all-important synonym finder.”

Editor Vicki Gundrum sent the excellent picture embedded above, here’s more: “Diva is my first reader on everything I write. She has an especially good ear for dialog but can get carried away and insert small rodent McGuffins as plot twists. These I dispatch. Here I’ve caught her messing with the original manuscript. She really needs to start writing her own books.”
