If ''Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'' sparks an interest in poetry for the young 'uns, they'll love [[New and Collected Poems for Children by Carol Ann Duffy]]. Younger children will love [[Dave by Sue Hendra]] - he might not have quite as an exciting name as Eliot's cats, but he's still a real character. The subject matter is very different, but there's a strong cat theme in [[The Last Free Cat by Jon Blake]], and it's a fantastic book to boot.
