Title: 4 1/2 * Feline Fantasy
Review: From the mischievous mind of Dav Pilky ("Adventures of Captain Underpants") comes this clever spoof sure to please grade school children. The story adheres fairly closely to "King Kong," except that the giant beast is a cat and the explorers are three mice. Pilky's trademark puns and silly jokes punctuate the text.This is fairly sophomoric stuff that is not quite as clever as "Captain Underpants;" however, the book is highlighted by Pilkey's "manipulated photographic collage, heavily retouched with acrylic paint." Photographs commingle with vivid surreal colors for a unique book that is as gratifyingly cheesy as the text.
