I dislike that he's so against dance lessons and that doesn't change. I'd like it better if after the cat was coaxed into showing the girl a dance move, if he then opened up to her teaching him.
I don't even like cats that much, but Rupert the dancing cat won me over!
Strangely charming tale about the relationship between a cat and his human. Rupert the cat's attitude toward his owner is so spot on for any cat imaginable. The illustrations weren't my favorite, nor was the type face (who would have thought that could make a difference? it does!), but the story was fun enough for all that to fall to the wayside.Yay for Rupert!
Mandy danced a lot. Her cat Rupert watched her every move, and while she slept he danced, until one night she woke and caught him. When he hid under her bed she had to find a way to get him to dance again.
Reasons why I dig this book.1. It's a dancing cat2. His name is Rupert3. Homeboy throws serious shade to dogs (while I am wholeheartedly a dog person, I can respect the shade when it's that serious)
A unusual book about a dancing cat? I've told many children anything can happen in a book, and I guess I am right! Still a book, I think children would enjoy, especially any child interested in dancing.
Super funny! I loved all the little comments about cats vs dogs.
The beginning is fantastic. But I really don't understand why Rupert can't keep his secret. To me it looks like Mandy winds up exploiting him. I see most current reviewers agree with me... what do you, my friends and followers, think?
Mandy's cat Rupert loves to dance. While his human companion dances all the time, he watches her carefully, never revealing that he dances while she's asleep. When his secret is revealed, Mandy ruins his pleasure in his pastime by trying to give him dance lessons. In the end she is able to coax him out through the use of psychology. The illustrations show the delight the two gain from their movement, but the ending fell flat for me. I loved seeing them dance together, but I kept thinking about h...
Oh how I've missed my picture books over the summer...those pithy, silly, funny, pointed books that are for children and the grown ups who read to them.Rupert's girl, Mandy loves to dance...she dances all day, and Rupert watches. But once Mandy's in bed, Rupert borrows her dancing shoes and dances the night away...in private. One night Mandy catches him. And wants to correct his dancing, and wants to teach him how to hold his...paws. She takes all the joy out of dancing for him, but she doesn't
Loved this story of the dancing cat Rupert and his friend Mandy.
Sept 12, 2014Jun 18, 2016I just enjoy Feiffer’s depiction of dance. He's been depicting it in his comics for as long as I can remember and he just gets it. He captures something in it beautifully. Maybe drawing about dance is easier than writing about it. Plus, cute cat.Library copy
What a joyful little book! I love it! "Cats love secrets" - yes, they do!
Obviously, I love this one. It's about a dancing cat. I can only hope that Jaspurr has secret nighttime dance sessions like Rupert. Also, I believe this is the prequel to Dancing with Cats.
Ok this was straight up delightful.
Eh. I expected more action from a book where a cat dances.
GR friend was talking about Jules Fieffer, writer and illustrator. She was talking about books he wrote amd illustrated for adults. Today I have access to books he illustrated or wrote and illustrated for children.Recently I told friends that I may walk and talk like a human, but I really am a cat. In this story, I understand Rupert the cat well. He thought he was enjoyjng a Private Idaho party when he gets found out. This does not sit well with Rupert. He would rather his human companion would
A cute book about the true attitude of cat.
A fun story, illustrations buzzing with their own kineticism, and a very cute cat. A winner!
