"Puss in Boots is a story that has always delighted me and when I saw this gorgeous cover with its Caldecott honor medal I was thrilled! The illustrations inside are certainly skillfully executed, but I'm afraid I'm just not as gaga about this book as I expected to be. Maybe I'm being picky or maybe I don't like this story as much as I thought I did, but Puss struck me as bossy little tyrant versus the cute and charming little rake I was expecting. The whole thing struck me as a little sad and cynical. When I read a book about a funny little cat that goes about town in boots I expect a different sort of feeling. *Shrug* Maybe I'll revisit another time...."
"This book was pretty cool but only for the illustrations. The book grabbed me right away because of the cover. It had no text on it, just a giant picture of a cat in clothes. The illustrations were very captivating and interesting. They did complement the story, but I was far more interested in the photos. I would recommend this book to any child."
"I thought this Puss and Boots was a great and creative fiction book. The cat plays a witty micheiveous character and gets his master a place with a princess. The illustrations are fun and full of colors."
